Register today for Protecting MI Source Webinar Series!
Our drinking water comes from a variety of sources including groundwater, rivers, and lakes. There are thousands of water supplies providing drinking water to the public and hundreds of thousands more private water wells supplying water to millions of people in Michigan and millions more across the Great Lakes Region. Knowing and understanding the quality and quantity of the source is a critical first step in planning and developing sustainable approaches and managing our drinking water resources. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) presents this webinar series to highlight how agencies, communities, universities, local organizations, and citizens can promote and protect drinking water sources. A question-and-answer period will follow each presentation.
Each webinar is approved for 0.1 Continuing Education Credits (CEC) in the technical category. More webinars will be added throughout the year.
This webinar series is provided through a collaborative partnership with EGLE, the Institute of Water Research at Michigan State University (IWRMSU), and the Michigan Rural Water Association (MRWA).?
Upcoming webinar in the series
Do you know where your drinking water comes from?? Ever wonder how land use impacts your drinking water? The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Forest Stewardship Program is leading a team of conservation partners on a new initiative called ?Forest to Mi Faucet? to share information about the connections between healthy forests and clean drinking water. Partners on the Forest to Mi Faucet team are helping municipal water utilities implement their source water protection plans to reduce nonpoint source pollution. The project will help rural landowners and urban residents protect important forests, manage forests better, and expand forests in strategic riparian locations.

He works with foresters, loggers, environmentalists, and many partner organizations to help landowners take good care of 12 million acres of private forests and public waters. He has degrees in forestry and crop and soil sciences from Michigan State University.

Meagan Hoffman?is the Forest and Water Community organizer for the Forest to Mi Faucet project. Meagan is serving as a Huron Pines AmeriCorps member with the DNR in 2023.?
