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; there are millions more water wells 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.
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). More webinars will be added throughout the year.
Upcoming webinar in the series:
Planning ahead for new wells is an important part of maintaining a reliable and protected drinking water supply. This presentation will cover when to start planning for a new well, what makes an ideal well site, and the key factors to consider when selecting potential locations. We’ll review how well sites are identified, common challenges that may arise, and how to incorporate new wells into an existing Wellhead Protection Program. Practical recommendations will be shared to help community water supplies plan ahead and protect their source water for the future.
This webinar is approved for 0.1 continuing education credits (CEC) in the technical category for drinking water operators.
