Description
This year’s workshop promises to be another outstanding event including session topics that cover recent studies concerning the potential issues for expanding the use of the Merrimack River as a water source, harmful effects of algae (cyanobacteria) in New Hampshire and Vermont lakes and milestones passed on the way to a comprehensive state water plan.
Sessions at this event will provide research and guidance concerning the most effective approaches, practices and techniques for use in local drinking water protection efforts. Members of community boards (planning, etc.), conservation commissions, regional agencies, non-profit organizations and consultants should attend. Topics will include:
