Databases
- Library databases.
Water can
be studied from many perspectives, many disciplines. Think about
what aspect of water you wish to investigate (politics? economics?
chemistry? geography?), then select an appropriate database and search
for journal
articles or other publications:
- Data
in MHC Environmental Databases (MHC
Center for the Environment)
Images
- ImageBank (American
Geological Institute): searchable e.g.
keywords "surface water" retrieves 188 images; "water" retrieves over
900.
- AccuNet/Associated
Press Multimedia Archive: an electronic library containing
The AP's photo reports and a selection of photos from their 50 million
image print and negative
library, audio files and more --updated daily. Be sure to check
out the FAQ's section for more content detail, technical tips, and
copyright
limitations.
