Educational
Posters
The following
are watershed education posters. These posters provide broad data
and information, and are of use to all ages and educational backgrounds.
They answer basic questions such as "what is a watershed and why should
I care?," offer opportunities for instructors to demonstrate how watersheds
are deliminated and how land use characterization and watershed analysis
are accomplished. In addition, the "Elements of a Water Management
Strategy" poster series illustrates the power of spatial analysis for watershed
management and asks some basic, yet, intriguing questions about land/water
interactions in the basin.
For excellent results in Microsoft
PowerPoint the following settings can be used:
-
Select "print," and on the first
screen check off "scale to fit paper,"
-
next, click on "properties" to go
to a new screen
-
on the new screen click on the button
that states "fit to this page" and then then there will be two "more sizes"
buttons available
-
click on each "more sizes" button,
one at a time, then proceed go to "custom paper size" and type in the size
of image you want. Hint, the WRA has had success with typing in a
selection of "34 inches by 34 inches" for a printer/plotter that uses 36
inch roles of paper. If you are struggling with this process, or
wish to have a hard copy sent please to you, please get in touch with us
using the contact information on the home page. In addition, if you
have a CD burner or large volume disk such as a Zip Disk you can take the
files for printing at a full service printing and copying shop such
as a Kinkos.
