The Cache la Poudre River: From Snow to Flow
This interactive story map about the hydrology of the Cache la Poudre Watershed can be used as a visual learning module for students in middle school and beyond. It introduces students to hydrologic concepts while utilizing a web-based application from ESRI Story Maps and ArcGIS Online to connect these lessons to real locations.
