For some research projects, we develop a specific website for community outreach such as for the ​Champlain Thrust project in Vermont.
IV. plain language summaries   
Students and collaborators often write plain language summaries of their research which sometimes end up on water underground.

VI. creative & community events   
We have led and organized a number of creative and community events related to water such as:
#h2flow (water, sustainability, and dialogue through the medium and expression of art, which is where the header video of this page comes from).
Goute d'eau (a water tasting to encourage dialogue on water, sustainability, city water infrastructure, and the environment facilitated by water scientists and professionals, as well as a sommelier and taster.)
#FlushGate: 100 days later (a panel discussion of those directly involved in decisions related to Flush Gate and those actively present in the media)
VII. collaborate with and support governments and NGOs
We routinely interact with governments and NGOs through reviewing reports, participating in workshops, presenting at forums with organizations such as Ceres, Canadian Council for Ministers of the Environment, and water leaders of BC (POLIS water sustainability project). We also provide occasional technical support to NGOs such at Living Lakes Canada.
