Have you ever wondered where the water in your tap comes from or the future of our water supply? Do you think about how many times and ways you use water in a day? How about who controls the water and how your water quality in Central Indiana compares to state standards?

The State of the Waters Presentation

The State of the Waters presentation covers some Science 101 with a look at the water cycle and where we fit into the cycle. The presentation takes a closer look at how the management of our landscape as a whole has impacted our water resources and the many sectors of modern life that depend on these resources. You will learn how humans have changed where rain water goes once it falls, and how it comes back around to our homes and places of business. We will look at wells, industrial needs, lawn irrigation, and even impacts to wildlife. Finally, the presentation discusses a range of strategies and efforts aimed at protecting and improving both water quality and supply that depend on these resources in Central Indiana.
