categories cover<strong>in</strong>g a wide range <strong>of</strong> topics <strong>in</strong> water. If you would like to write any <strong>of</strong> these<br />
articles, click <strong>on</strong> the article head<strong>in</strong>g that you would like to write <strong>on</strong>, and start add<strong>in</strong>g your<br />
material. For example:<br />
http://www.iwawaterwiki.org/xwiki/b<strong>in</strong>/view/Articles/C<strong>on</strong>structedecosystems<br />
http://www.iwawaterwiki.org/xwiki/b<strong>in</strong>/view/Articles/C<strong>on</strong>structedWetlands<br />
http://www.iwawaterwiki.org/xwiki/b<strong>in</strong>/view/Articles/Polluti<strong>on</strong>m<strong>on</strong>itor<strong>in</strong>gandc<strong>on</strong>trol<br />
Suggest an idea for an article by creat<strong>in</strong>g an article with useful start<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>formati<strong>on</strong> that will<br />
encourage others to complete it. You could add a list <strong>of</strong> references or a basic explanati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
your topic as a start<strong>in</strong>g po<strong>in</strong>t. For example:<br />
http://www.iwawaterwiki.org/xwiki/b<strong>in</strong>/view/Articles/Ecotoxicology<br />
Copy exist<strong>in</strong>g articles from Wikipedia or similar websites. If you have seen a good quality<br />
water article <strong>on</strong> Wikipedia you can copy this across to the <strong>Water</strong> Wiki as l<strong>on</strong>g as the<br />
orig<strong>in</strong>al source is credited. Wikipedia articles can also be revised and improved <strong>in</strong> order to<br />
match the more specific scope <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Water</strong> Wiki. This is possible with all websites that have<br />
