| Abstract | In addressing the conference theme, Integrating Information Technology and Social Science Research for Effective Government, this paper examines the challenges that government agencies face while trying to protect and restore water quality from a watershed management standpoint. Our geographic focus is the San Diego city-region and its neighboring jurisdictions (including Mexico). We find that there is a pressing need to develop a dynamic regional information system that can help guide and track individual development projects (micro-development) in the context of the larger (macro-development) of whole watersheds. Yet serious constraints stand in the way. Fortunately, advances taking place in certain scientific, sociotechnical and regulatory domains are promising. Three stand out: (1) the growth of sustainability science and emergence of cyberinfrastructure for multiscalar environmental monitoring, (2) the mobilization of what the National Research Council calls knowledge-action collaboratives---including university-government-community partnerships, and (3) regulatory innovation calling for watershed-based approaches to environmental policy and planning. We need a concerted strategy to integrate and take full advantage of these trends. This paper provides a strategic vision along such lines. A case study on digital systems for environmental mitigation and tracking is also presented. Digital government research themes related to this case study include: (1) long-term preservation and archiving of government records, (2) integration of data grids and geographic information systems, and (3) citizen interactions through transparency of and universal access to digital records. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
