ECHO at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain is opening a new interactive exibit this week called “Be a Watershed Weather Reporter”. On Friday, April 15, ECHO, in partnership with WPTZ NewsChannel 5, will open a new stewardship component to its interactive exhibit gallery, an actual weather television studio! Be a Watershed Weather Reporter is a weather studio where guests can learn about the affects of weather on the Lake Champlain Basin. With computer special affects and a little TV magic, visitors record their own “on location” weather story in front of state of the art, television studio chroma key technology. Learn how floods, blizzards, wind, drought and other major weather events impact not just what we wear outside, but the quality of the water we swim in, the air we breathe, and the land we live on.
Be a Watershed Weather Reporter was developed with generous support from US EPA New England. The Lake Champlain Basin Program partnered in this project to help develop and review all Lake Champlain Basin issues such as algae blooms, phosphorus and storm water runoff. Current lake level and water temperature data is provided by the U.S. Geological Survey. ECHO also plans to add more lake weather information to its website, http://www.echovermont.org, which will include the new lake level and temperature thanks to partnerships with the U.S. Department of the Interior/U.S. Geological Survey and WPTZ NewsChannel 5.
