Discuss with your Regional Waterwatch Coordinator the option of inviting another Waterwatch group to participate in your activity. By involving more people and working as a team you will achieve more, and if you have any problems it will be more fun and easier to solve the problem. Don't forget to consider involving non-Waterwatch groups or individuals such as Landcare, Bushcare, Coast Care, Friends of Parks, Scouts, Girl Guides, Rotary, Apex, catchment water management boards or local government. Create a list of contacts and use it. As a team discuss with your Regional Waterwatch Coordinator any potential problems that may arise from your action plan.
Meetings are useful.
At the end of your project evaluate your progress and discuss as a team, in the presence of your Regional Waterwatch Coordinator, the problems you encountered and possible solutions. Your tips for success can then be shared with other groups who are planning similar action activities. The Global Rivers Environmental Education Network in the United States of America also contains some useful information on how to develop an Action Plan. R-7 Primary School got involved with the Northern Adelaide and Barossa Waterwatch's pilot Yellow Fish Road Drain Stencilling Program. The flyer described the impact of stormwater and associated pollutants on local waterways.
