Figure 1. The Community Environment model interface. Controls for weather and community settings are on the left, with the graphical display in the center. Rain falls on the land (green pixels) and erodes less stable soil, causing a trail of eroded land behind it (brown pixels). Water picks up pollutants and runs downhill/down-watershed to the river at the lower end of the screen, increasing water pollution. Water flowing over hard surfaces (gray pixels) carries more pollution (visualized as larger circles). The graphs on the right plot erosion and number of projects (top graph) and water pollution (bottom graph) with time and will update continually during the simulation. Invertebrate indicator species (mayflies/dragonflies) populate the river initially, and their numbers change as pollution in the river changes.
