PEWI is a simple web-based educational game designed to assist people in multidimensional land-use decision-making. Players iteratively manipulate land cover annually for three years in a virtual 6000 acre watershed to design land use that meets their perceptions and goals for a well-functioning agricultural landscape. The model computes a variety of outputs, including nutrient pollution, stream sediment delivery, level of biodiversity, and agricultural production, which assist them in landscape design.

#Collaboration
PEWI uses the Git Flow method of code collaboration which means that the development branch is reserved for active development. All pull requests should be made against the development branch! The master branch is reserved for 'stable' releases and contains merges from development. Github provides extensive documentation that explains how to collaborate, and there is also a step-by-step guide on how to operate in the Git Flow.
