Welcome to WWMD eLearning Center

This type of webpage is known as a wiki; please visit often. A wiki has software that allows users to create, edit, and link web pages easily. Wikis' are often used to create and to power community websites like the one you see here. This wiki is where Waterford Waterway Management District (WWMD) riparian (waterfront) property owners learn about local waterway topics. The purpose of this wiki is to provide eLearning Modules on various topics pertaining to the current waterway issues and district activities.

The wiki is completely open to the general public; if you think you can improve the content in some way, please contact any one of the WWMD Commissioners. The wiki is secure, and Commissioners are the only ones with access to change it. Wiki's are generally designed with the philosophy of making it easy to correct mistakes. To better understand what a wiki is, please watch this short video (click on the link) to get a clear understanding of how a wiki works and how it differs from a website, blog or email.
