Private Well Symposium!

Thanks to URI Water Quality for this post:

On November 14 and 15, the third biannual Private Well Water Symposium will be taking place in Southbury, CT. This event is an excellent opportunity for professionals working in the field of private well protection to discuss current research and policy programs, share educational approaches and materials, and interact with one another.

Over 100 conference participants will be attending this event, including educators, scientists, researchers, well water and laboratory professionals, and students from the Northeast States and Caribbean Islands. These attendees will be participating in such activities as pre-conference workshops, concurrent sessions, poster session, exhibits, and oral presentations on numerous topics, including:

• Impact of hydrofracturing on groundwater
• Testing private well water and interpreting results
• Public health and regulation of private wells
• Groundwater quality issues in New England
• Arsenic and manganese in drinking water
