Abstract

River environments consist of various creatures and substances hidden underwater and invisible to the eye. With these unique ecosystems being rather complicated and fluctuating, it is often difficult to fully observe the important processes and phenomena on-site. A combination of both on-site and visual media experiences are therefore crucial to environmental education, which is why interpretive visual media forms are needed. Movies and illustrations, as components of visual media, are good methods for presenting those features that are difficult to observe on-site. By expanding or compressing the time or space represented, movie content can clearly display such features and phenomena as micro and wide areas, underwater environments, transitory events and variations over long periods of time. Movies can also allow viewers to visualize the relationships between river phenomena and human lifestyles. Illustrations have perspicacity and are able to offer cross-sections of natural environments. Additionally, interpretation is made easier to understand when using well-illustrated data and graphs to show chemical changes in relation to morphology.
