Itasca Waters “practical Water Wisdom” for July

Would you like to leave a legacy of clean water for future generations? If so, then Itasca Waters has the series for you. The “Practical Water Wisdom: A Virtual Learning Series” runs for an hour beginning at noon on the first Thursday of each month (except July when it is on the second Thursday). It is FREE, online, open to all, and includes an interactive Q&A session.

The July 11 program will be “Mining and Water Quality and How the Two Can Live Well Together in Northern Minnesota” presented by Patrick K. Schoff, PhD, Acting Director of Research, Innovation Manager, Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI), University of Minnesota Duluth.

Join us as we learn about the intricate relationship between mining activities and water quality management in northern Minnesota. With its rich mineral deposits and abundant freshwater resources, the region faces the dual challenge of economic development through mining while safeguarding its pristine water bodies. The webinar explores innovative approaches and best practices aimed at achieving a balance between mining operations and water quality preservation.

Attend this online presentation, and ask your own question!
