<br />BECCnet, on -line service to discuss border issues
<br />BECCnet is an online resource for discussions about the activi-
<br />ties of the Border Environment Cooperation Commission, North
<br />American Development Bank and other border environmental in-
<br />stitutions. Initiated ten years ago, BECCnet has become a resource
<br />that has encouraged expectations among stakeholders on both sides
<br />of the border about openness in decision making. Subscribers are
<br />able to post messages or queries in English or Spanish about border
<br />environmental institutions or topics.
<br />BECCnet is maintained by the University of Arizona's
<br />Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy. Additional informa-
<br />tion including subscription information available at http: //

<br />Water Dialogue... continued from page 7
<br />capabilities and information technologies to be focused on sup-
<br />porting water policy decision makers; and the need to educate
<br />public officials and the public about the extent and complexity of
<br />water challenges.
<br />The purpose of the dialogue was to serve as an open forum
<br />for discussing water issues with varied water resource interests
<br />participating: policy makers, scientists, and researchers from all
<br />Western Waters Digital Library
<br />This project, a cooperative venture involving the University of
<br />Arizona, Arizona State University and other western universities,
<br />is developing digital collections on four river basins: the Colorado,
<br />Columbia, Rio Grande and Platte. The project goal is to gather
<br />various kinds of information from the participating universities
<br />— printed text, photographs, maps, manuscripts, government re-
<br />ports, oral histories, legal transcripts, water project records, personal
<br />papers etc, — into one searchable web site. A focus is on the in-
<br />terplay between rivers and human development throughout the riv-
<br />ers' watersheds, with an emphasis on social, geographic, economic,
<br />legal and historical developments. To access this resource go to

<br />levels of government including tribal, the academic community, in-
<br />dustry, environmental groups, other NGOs and the general public.
<br />The dialogue included over 250 of the nation's water resources ex-
<br />perts. To see the final program, text of letter, and dialogue summar

<br />The first dialogue was conducted in Washington D.C. in Sep-
<br />tember 2002.
