When the Watershed Academy was created in 1994, most people expected a single, live training course that would provide the basics of the watershed approach. Since that time, the Academy has diversified into four- areas to spread its message: live courses, publications and other training materials, statewide watershed management facilitation support, and a website. Recently the Watershed Academy significantly enhanced and expanded its internet-based training site known as Academy 2000, which can be found at

.
Improvements in the speed and quality of hardware, Internet browsers, and graphics software have made it possible to develop a variety of free, self-paced training modules that introduce website visitors to several primary topics of watershed management. The modules cover the principles of watershed management, watershed ecology, watershed change, watershed analysis and planning, management practices, and community/social issues.
Internet availability means the modules can serve as homework assignments to supplement a lecture course or comprise an entirely Internet-based distance learning course for a group of students who may never meet in one place. Whatever your plans , please contact wacademy@epa.org OR send online mail right now to: EPA Watershed Academy and let the Academy know how you are using Academy 2000 materials.
