The new NSWA website is powered by Drupal, an open-source content management system (CMS) that allows flexible website content creation and management by registered users (i.e. you and me) from any web browser.  Drupal includes easy-to-use tools for page creation, comments, forums, and other forms of content creation and collaboration.  NSWA will use these tools to inform and communicate with members and to discuss important issues in watershed planning and management of  the North Saskatchewan watershed in Alberta.
