| Acronym - A word formed by the initial letters of a name, as in WAC for Women's
Army Corps, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words, as in radar for
radio detecting and ranging, or as in MoWIN for the Missouri Watershed Information
Network. Acronyms are useful for abbreviating our communications, but they are often
confusing, exasperating or downright mystifying. To demystify some common ones regarding
watershed stewardship, we have compiled the searchable database below. |
