NDMC Helps With Republican River Basin Information System

Cody Knutson, Donna Woudenberg, Jae Ryu, Mark Svoboda, and Sandra Jones attended the Southwest Nebraska Water Conference on March 5 in McCook, Nebraska, to present their project, “Development of a Web-Based Climate and Drought Information Clearinghouse for the Republican River Basin.” Participants saw and reacted to samples of what the portal might look like, such as the image above. Below, participants used hand-held “clickers” during parts of the presentation to transmit their preferences about what they were seeing.
