1. Final Report – Performance Code (PDF 622 kb)

2. Draft Website for Water Resource Sections (http://www.duluthstreams.org/PerformanceCode/index.html)
This prototype website was developed to demonstrate how water resource planning tools can be delivered to local planners and decision makers. The Grand Lake, MN watershed was used as an example to illustrate the types of data and resources available to help make informed planning decisions that protect water quality.

4. FGIS Data Session – John Jerezeck (NRRI and WI DNR) assembled this session to view the Grand Lake Data using the freeware fGIS.

Forestry GIS (fGIS™ http://www.digitalgrove.net/fgis.htm) is a compact GIS data viewer, digitizer and shapefile editing program for Windows® from the University of Wisconsin and Wisconsin DNR - Division of Forestry. Designed for operational field managers like foresters and wildlife biologists, fGIS has essential tools tailored for precision mapping on a desktop computer.

To view the data, open the fgis folder, double click fgis.exe file. Open the file
CD_Drive.ttkgp. The fGIS program does not need to be installed as a program so the files can be copied easily from CD to hard drive (and back again).
