ABOUT THE MODELS

With funding from the Lake Champlain Basin Program, BRASS constructed a series of portable models to depict the "work" and behavior of rivers. Advisory personnel from local watershed groups, and state and federal agencies, helped determine the hydro-geological issues most in need of emphasis. BRASS's executive director, Robin Ulmer, is responsible for concepts and text, however Vermont artist Jane Clark Brown turned ideas into unique designs and forms. The thirteen models are now on loan from the Basin Program to schools, organizations and agencies.

Five of the models can be viewed and electronically manipulated in this section of the website. The models were adapted for the web by Dennis Kalma. Sketches or photographs of the rest the models, as well as their text, can be viewed and read in the archived newsletter articles titled "The Work and Behavior of Rivers."
