Although available in several formats the new project has been designed to take advantage of the World-Wide-Web, a multimedia, hypertext application. Anyone interested in accessing the pilot project can do so at the Industry Canada host site or the Canadian Center for Inland Water (Environment Canada). The universities of New Brunswick, Montreal, Calgary, and British Columbia offer Internet access to the project.
