Science and Management Forum: Regional Freshwater Issues - Part I

Co-sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Dutchess County
1 hr. 15 min.

An overview of the quantity and quality of regional freshwater resources, pressures that existing supplies face (pollution, development, invasive species), and management options. Special attention is given to green infrastructure and stormwater.

The forum’s goal is to provide municipal officials, watershed groups, conservation advisory committees, planning boards, and concerned citizens with the information needed to make sound decisions about freshwater management.
