Learning and Action Network (LAN)

Throughout the project, the science team met with regional water managers, stakeholders, and educators.  This group was called the Learning and Action Network (LAN) and grew to include county commissioners, managers, and scientists from state and federal natural resource agencies, farmers, K-12 educators, and representatives from water utilities, conservation organizations, and industry.  Over 120 people participated in at least one LAN event over the project's six years.  LAN events consisted of fieldtrips, workshops, and webinars, where we encouraged dialogue about water issues in the basin and introduced and received feedback on WW2100 modeling approaches and analysis.
