Welcome to Hydroviz

HydroViz is an educational "virtual" hydrologic observatory developed for a "real" watershed by integrating field data, remote sensing observations with computer simulations of hydrologic variables and processes. HydroViz is designed to support hydrology education in engineering and earth science courses. HydroViz is fully web-based, web-accessible with Google Earth embedded into it. For more background information, visit HydroViz project homepage.

Click Travel to the Watershed to begin (you may need to download a free Google Earth plugin).
