WFDVisual.com: Image Development Phase 2

SNIFFER Code: WFD70C

Year: 2009

Project Status: Complete

Short description: The website www.wfdvisual.com is a collection of images that have been developed to help communicate the complex processes underpinning the water environment and its management under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). In 2007, SNIFFER published a suite of images to help communicate various scenarios for groundwater. The new phase of work (WFD70c) aimed to develop a series of images for four new target areas: karst, coastal, floodplain and fluvial settings. In contrast to the images developed in 2007 (which can be customised by the user to meet specific requirements), these new ‘storyboard’ images come in pre-packaged groups to help the user explain common hydrogeological scenarios.
