The crystal ball we’re using is a web app that models how water, sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus move across and underneath the earth’s surface.
Model My Watershed lets users visualize geographic data describing watershed conditions and model water quality as they change land use and implement various stormwater best management practices.
Model My Watershed® is a powerful web app that lets users compare how different conservation or development scenarios could modify runoff and water quality.

“Our students have learned not only how to make contributions to a global community of researchers but have been empowered by sharing their own data with the world.”
The Excellence in GSI Award recognizes work in the Greater Philadelphia region celebrating a nature-based approach to stormwater management.
The true power of Model My Watershed is in the lasting lessons of action-based stewardship that follow students into the field.
