IRIS - Iowa Rivers Information System
http://maps.gis.iastate.edu/iris/index.asp
An Internet based GIS relating physical, chemical, and biological information about Iowa's rivers. This site has viewable data incorporating geology, land cover, land use, watersheds, channel morphology, hydrology, water quality, biological information, etc. This site is currently a work in progress and will eventually include data for the entire state.

Iowa Lakeside Laboratory - Cooperative Lakes Area Monitoring Project (CLAMP)
http://www.ag.iastate.edu/centers/lakeside/igl/CLAMP/CLAMPhome.html
In 1999, a long term, unified water quality monitoring program was created in the Iowa Great Lakes region to determine how the water quality of the Lakes changes over time. Summaries for the data collected by CLAMP volunteers and the locations samples are taken from is accessible through this website.

The location of registered water monitoring stations, results of chemcial, physical and biological monitoring events performed at each station and photos (if available) can be viewed through their website.

Iowa's Fragile Flora
http://www.cgrer.uiowa.edu/herbarium/FragFloraIntro.htm
The database is a compilation of information on rare Iowa plants from four sources.

These sources are:
· five Iowa Administrative Code lists of endangered and threatened plant species (Iowa Administrative Code 1977, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1994),
· 1998 list proposed to supercede the 1994 Iowa Administrative Code list (J. Pearson, Iowa DNR, in litt. 1998),
· 1998 candidate list (J. Pearson, Iowa DNR, in litt. 1998), and
· lists from three endangered and threatened plant reports (Roosa & Eilers 1978, Roosa, Pusateri & Eilers 1986, and Roosa, Leoschke & Eilers 1989).

Five groups of plants/plant-like organisms - 1) vascular plants ('higher' plants), 2) mosses, 3) hepatics (liverworts), 4) lichens, and 5) fungi (mushrooms/toadstools) - are included in the database; however, most of the data pertain to vascular plants, which is the only group included in the Iowa Administrative Code lists of endangered and threatened plants. Information on rare and endangered plant species can be downloaded based on plant group, status (endangered, threatened, extirpated, etc.), or based on which rare Iowa plant source was used.
