Museum Events

Presented by Tom Hesseldenz

How do our homes, buildings and roads affect our groundwater, streams, and lakes? Buildings and paving prevent storm-water from soaking into the ground, thereby preventing groundwater recharge and increasing the rate and quantity of runoff above-ground. Tom will help us better understand this important topic and will discuss various solutions specific to our area and beyond.

On Friday, July 12th, Tom will be conducting a tour as an extension of his presentation – further examining our effects on the water system. This is an all day event, but you may elect to attend either the Morning Session, the Afternoon Session or both.
