From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Over the space of two years I edited many entries in an effort to improve the quality of Wikipedia, most of them touching on hydrology and related fields where I've worked. There is still much work to be done, but I have since directed my energy elsewhere.

While Wikipedia is a very useful resource, it has its share of errors. I think of Wikipedia as a first stop when learning about something new, but it's important that is isn't the last stop. It is still an encyclopedia, and so is not necessarily edited by professionals. If you really want to learn something, learn from an authority. (So you know what experience my edits have behind them, here's my research webpage.)

If interested in learning more about hydrology and water resources, consider reading the blog archives of Down to Earth, one of my other projects geared towards environmental literacy.
