== Welcome to the Miramichi River. This is where we will be sharing ideas and collaborating with information about water systems. We will be doing this with our Dutch partners, as well as with other students and teachers from throughout our global village who are doing work related to their own water systems. Additionally, we anticipate having others, such as Environment Canada, join us with the special expertise they have to offer. We will begin with our Travel Report about our trip to the Netherlands. It is a reflection about our experiences in the Netherlands. In keeping with the goals of the Water Systems project, we will also be sharing ideas about water systems and our environment that we learned from our Dutch colleagues and their students.
