Talk:Georgia Water

Naming Convention
I am going to go through and rename the pages in this book to follow a better naming convention. Exactly what that convention should be is certainly open to suggestion. Here is my recommendation:


 * 1) The title of the book will be "Water Resources Planning and Management in Georgia".
 * 2) We will use the "Forward Slash" Convention
 * 3) Since this book already uses a clear "book > Chapter > Page" hierarchy, we can use a hierarchical naming scheme, ie:
 * "Water Resources Planning and Management in Georgia/Chapter/Page"
 * 1) For simplicity, we can hijack the page WRPMG as a pseudo-namespace for this book, so that we can make links in the form "WRPMG/Chapter/Page". That way, we can save our fingers from all that extra typing.

Anyway, those are my suggestions, any comments or questions will be appreciated. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

It would appear "Georgia Water" is a name that has been picked. So I'm fixing links, redirects and double redirects and page names in hopes of getting things squired on the naming policy. --darklama 18:25, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


 * And now I see if I had seen User_talk:KHatcher before I got started, I could of saved some time. When I fixed some links in the process of moving pages to Georgia Water, I tried to use relative links, which should at lest make things easier when moving from Georgia Water to Water Resources Directory. --darklama 22:33, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Note
As a quick note, considering our international audience here at wikibooks, it might be prudent to mention that this is for Georgia the state, not Georgia the eastern-european country. I think people will assume it, but we should err on the side of caution none-the-less. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. So, I'll add the information about USA state to the main cover page for the book.  Once readers have selected the book, there's no need to constantly remind them inside the book that they are reading about the USA state; they'll already know that, and the additional unnecessary clarification would add clutter to the pages plus extra typing. -- KHatcher 14:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Book Title and shorter Book Name
The literary title of the book is Water Resources Planning and Management in Georgia, selected to accurately reflect the book content. However, since this book title is rather long, the short book name is Georgia Water, rather than WRPMG. (As another example of this convention, the short book name Botany on Wikibooks has the literary book title "Study Guide to the Science of Botany" given on its cover page.) Does Wikibooks have some sample templates which could be used to design nice looking book covers or book title pages? Thank you for any hints and links to good photos to help in designing the cover page. -- KHatcher 14:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the book can be split ?

This would allow to make a generic Water Use And Conservation Manual in which eg the creation of water buffers and water harvesting, and responsible use of water can be discussed. The specifics of the rivers in Georgia can then be split to a new book eg Practical Use of the Georgia Rivers

New Wikibook just for Rainwater Harvesting
Hi all, I'm also from Georgia (Athens area) and I found this resource pretty cool. However I think that considering how long it has been since anyone has edited or modified content here, it would be awesome if maybe (or just at least) we could make a wikibook just for rainwater harvesting. It would no longer be solely Georgia, U.S. specific and also it could address the advances made since the content was originally added here (circa 2006, right?). Does anyone have any thoughts? I am thinking that this wikibook could be targeted to an audience that has some knowledge of rainwater harvesting, but maybe is either a homeowner, small time plumber, contractor or even a smaller to larger sized company that are seeking to get into the business.--Ivangiesen (discuss • contribs) 15:13, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
