PowerPoint Presentation on the Web

Will you volunteer to put a Power Point Presentation on the BASIN website?

We have the latest version of a BASIN powerpoint presentation. This could be made available to people that will be making presentations on BASIN. We would like your help to post it electronically for easy downloading and to present it as HTML documents on the BASIN website. If this is a project you can commit to please contact Jim Waterman, via e-mail.




Quark 3.3 & CD Rom translation Local water wizard and land-scape architect Jim Knopf has agreed to let BASIN use some of the material from his new book about water-wise landscapes and gardens. The book has some great information on Boulder's water use and comparisons to other community's water costs and consumption.

The material is on a zip drive with the software being Quark 3.3 for Mac. Ideally a newer version of Quark might allow direct translation to html....but if not we could pull out appropriate information and save into a format we can make webpages out of. He's also got many photos of local native or drought-tolerant plants on a Photo CD. It should take a few hours to go through the zip drive and pull off appropriate materials.

Teachers and Students. Looking for interesting community service or service learning projects in the Boulder Area? BASIN offers numerous opportunities to learn about and serve the local community. Share research and information on environmental issues around your schools and neighborhoods through BASIN, and become part of the network!

Water and Kids everywhere! Develop a BASIN wesite site devoted to linking with other water-related programs around the world, especially those involving kids. The idea is that people in different parts of the world could learn about the Boulder area and water-related topics from BASIN.... and they could share through BASIN things relating to their regional water. Part of this dream would be for kids in, say Brazil or Tajikistan, (or Maryland) to network together through the common-denominator of water.... and to have a chance to share their own ideas/images. Task requires surfing and web page design.
