Presented on Wednesday, May 1, 2013
Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. Social media has rapidly become a important outlet for water information. Government agencies, nonprofits organizations, businesses and individuals are readily employing social media to communicate a wide array of water information. This session will look at some examples of how water information is being disseminated through social media.
