Starting with the next issue of Stormwater, you’ll
have a choice: You can get the magazine in its digital edition instead of—or in
addition to—the printed copy.
This doesn’t replace the content you’ll find here on www.stormh2o.com; all the articles will
still be available here, along with readers’ comments and additional Web-only
content. The digital version is simply an exact reproduction of the printed
magazine with its original layout and advertisements. Clicking on the ads will
take you directly to the advertisers’ Web sites.
The digital version is also convenient to read when you’re
traveling—without adding one more item to the stack in your briefcase—and has
all the shortcuts and options you’d expect from a digital publication: You can
click on an article title in the table of contents to go straight to the
article, zoom in on a page so that the type appears in just about any size you
want, and so on. If you sign up for the digital edition, you’ll receive an email
when each issue is published, letting you know that it’s available and linking
you to it.
You can
sign up for the digital version now on our site when you renew your subscription
(click on Subscription Services). To see a demo right now of what the new format
will look like, visit the site of our sister publication, Water
Efficiency, at www.waterefficiency.net and browse through the
January/February version of that magazine without a subscription.
Of course some readers, for many
different reasons, will still prefer to receive printed copies of
Stormwater. But for those of you who are comfortable reading online, who
want to save some space in your office, or who perhaps want to save a few trees,
the digital edition might be the perfect option.
