Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION
More and more environmental programs in recent years have structured themselves around
watersheds. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Water is among the many
that have promoted watershed approaches and witnessed their successes all around the country.
Through the Clean Water Act, EPA works with states, tribes, and a variety of other governmental and
non-governmental organizations to restore and maintain the physical, chemical, and biological
integrity of the nation's waters, often through activities involving a watershed approach. This
involves a multidisciplinary blend of sound watershed science, effective communications and
partnerships, and well-designed organizational management to reach its highest levels of success.
Even watershed management professionals seldom are experienced in every discipline. Thus,
training in the many facets of the watershed approach is in high demand.
The EPA Office of Water, through its Watershed Academy, has developed several training courses to
address the major facets of the watershed approach. EPA's courses, however, represent just a
fraction of what is available nationally through government and non-government sources.
This Catalogue of Watershed Training Opportunities was developed with the intent to help anyone
with a need for watershed training to locate information about suitable courses.
. This Catalogue has a number of purposes:
• Mainly, to help readers find training/education opportunities on watershed protection
• Provide summaries and contact information for training sources consistent with the main
principles of a watershed approach
• Inform watershed managers about EPA courses that are consistent with the above
'• Inform watershed managers about non-EPA courses that are consistent with the above
«. Be in a format that is easily updated as needed, or even stored on bulletin boards or
homepages
.»
The Catalogue contains course summaries that show the reader enough to determine their level of
interest and who to contact for further information—much like a college course catalogue. To
develop the Catalogue, we surveyed available training courses within and outside EPA. We expect to
continue compiling course summaries according to this format and will post updates periodically. If
you have information on a watershed-oriented training course, please submit it to the catalogue by
filling out a submittal form located in Appendix A.
About the Watershed Academy
The EPA Office of Water initiated the Watershed Academy to provide training for watershed
managers. Training is based on the experiences of local, state, tribal, and federal entities that have
-------
Watershed Training Opportunities Catalogue, Draft of May 1,1997
Introduction
implemented the watershed approach during the past decade. The Watershed Academy includes core
courses and EPA reference materials about watershed processes, functions, and management
techniques, as well as a series of co-sponsored special training events on different aspects of the
watershed approach. The target audience includes water resource/watershed managers and technical
staff in local, state and federal agencies and tribes, EPA regions, and other public or private sector
practitioners of watershed management.
Although EPA itself offers only a few courses, the Watershed Academy maintains this Catalogue of
Watershed Training Opportunities to spread information about dozens of other watershed-oriented
training courses offered by local, state, and federal agencies, as well as private organizations. We
work with and co-chair an Interagency Watershed Training Cooperative as another source of joint
course planning, shared training materials, and expertise.
As funding permits, the Watershed Academy's training courses are offered several times per year,
usually in EPA regional office cities and other central locations. The Watershed Academy can
customize their training sessions by varying the length (up to a week) and course selection. EPA
regional, state and local staff often participate actively as case-study presenters along with our
instructors. The high demand for watershed training nationwide requires that EPA also have ways to
reach a broader audience than we can reach purely by live training courses, and thus Academy 2000
will be developed as an Internet-based distance learning.program. For additional information, visit
any of these topics in our web page located at:

introduction to modeling. By adding a second day the fundamental
concepts can be expanded and a hands-on segment included. By the
end of the course attendees should be able to independently perform
watershed based hydrology and pollutant loading evaluations. The
types of models illustrated include highly simplistic loading rate
analysis, spreadsheet type models, BMP evaluations using P8, and a
simplified continuous simulation model such as GWLF. Students
should by the conclusion of the course have the fundamental
information to continue to apply models on their own or participate in
future workshops. For a more "ecologically" oriented approach -
simplified models or techniques for assessing temperature or habitat
conditions could be included.

can be monitored and together provide a fairly comprehensive
assessment of the biological integrity of a site. This course stresses the
use of habitat and biotic indices for data interpretation and site
assessment. In addition, community-level data assessment techniques
as well as methods of assessing organism-habitat relationships are
emphasized.

as the Clean Water Act and the Food Security Act. Topics include
general wetland ecblogy, functions, values and the use of models. The
class consists of lectures in the mornings and^field trips in the
afternoons to proposed project sites. The class will assess pre- and
post-project conditions at several sites. This is a regional course,
specific to different types of wetlands in specific geographic areas.

This course explores the geochemical and biological processes
influencing the chemistry of natural waters, and focuses on making the
connection between the watershed and stream ecosystems. The course
begins with a review of water chemistry concepts and geochemical
processes as well as terrestrial processes that impact water quality.
Terrestrial-aquatic linkages are discussed along with biogeochemical
transformations in the hyportic zones and in wet lands. Instream
processes such as organo-metal complexation, sorption/desorption, ion
exchange, biological uptake arid release, and carbon cycling are
addressed. Water chemistry modeling techniques will be presented
along with statistical, thermodynamic, and mass-balance methods for
interpreting water chemistry.

General course usually once a year, usually early Spring. Location
varies, so that the staff from every region have an opportunity to attend
even if travel funds are limited. Past offerings have been in central CO,
western NC, and northern VA; next general offering likely will be in
northern CA.

watershed, stream, and ground water dynamics as these affect
ecological dynamics and biological adaptations in aquatic, riparian, and
wetland ecosystems. The course places special emphasis on
"biohydrology," the interaction of biological and hydrologic processes,
as these relate to conservation of aquatic, riparian, and wetland
biodiversity. Addresses issues from basic science to threats assessment
and monitoring methods appropriate to conservation efforts.

This computer-use course presents the technical concepts, application
logic, and menu of computer programs to understand why and how to
use the Physical Habitat Simulation System (PHABSIM). PHABSIM
simulates hydraulic relationships of numerous stream flows with water
depths and velocities in rigid channel. Then it quantifies the
relationship of hydraulic and channel index variables (depth, velocity,
substrate, and cover) with suitability for evaluation species or water-
related recreation. The model is useful when relatively steady flow is
the major determinant controlling the riverine resources. Prior IBM-PC
compatible experience with editors and computational spreadsheets is
recommended but not required. Lecture notes, a lab workbook, and the
PHABSIM software and manual are provided.

combination of lecture and hand-on practice in negotiations. The
instructors explain three different negotiation strategies: competitive,
cooperative and integrative. Using this framework, students have an
opportunity to diagnose negotiation strategies that are employed by
others. Applying these diagnostic skills, students design strategies that
best fit the situations they face, and receive direct feedback from
instructors on their performance in negotiation exercises. This
advanced course focuses on developing skills in interpersonal and
interorganizational negotiations and decision making in a wide range of
natural resource issues including endangered species and water
resource management (including IFIM studies).

The course emphasizes exercises and instructor feedback rather than
lecture. Exercises are drawn from real examples of negotiations over
water, highway, land use planning and land management issues. The
course is centered on negotiation strategies and tactics rather than
natural resource data and the focus is on multi-party, multi-issue -
bargaining. The instructors help the students evaluate the utility of
three negotiation strategies: competitive, cooperative and integrative.
The goal is to build skills in the integrative strategy while at the same
time learning to achieve adequate results. Students should expect the
exercises to be intense and challenging and discussions, to be direct and
frank. Pre-attendance readings are suggested for each student and a
book of supportive readings is supplied at the course.
