Abstract
In this paper, I propose a few ways, by using GIS tools, to improve public outreach by Dog River Clearwater Revival. With the use of the internet and the easy access to web page and programs like Google Earth, a plain satellite image might not get the interest of the public anymore. You do not need to have any kind of college background to be able to use those software and get the image you want. As watershed pollution largely depends on public awareness, I tried to find a way to make Dog River Watershed more interesting to the public. I created an overview map of the watershed and I also created a 3D Flythrough of Halls Mill Creek, which is a tributary of Dog River. After creating the 3D flythrough, I uploaded it to youtube.com, so the public can access it easily. I used ArcGIS to make the basic maps and ArcScene to create the 3D flythrough of Halls Mill Creek. These maps can be used to show the public a more interesting approach to the Dog River Watershed.
