SUMMARY:Watershed History Night
DESCRIPTION:Join the Beaver Watershed Alliance (Alliance) to celebrate Lakes Appreciation Month! On Thursday\, July 25th\, beginning at 6 pm\, special guest speakers will share some of the fascinating history of the Beaver Lake watershed including its lakes\, rivers\, and early settlers who utilized these natural resources. The free event will be held at the Elkins Community Center (162 Doolin Drive\, Elkins\, AR) and snacks and refreshments will be provided. \nLocal historian\, Susan Young\, will share a story on “Kith\, Kin\, and Claims on Chicken Bristle Mountain.” Susan is a lifelong resident of Fayetteville and a fifth-generation Ozarker. She worked as the outreach coordinator for the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale for 27 years. Susan’s presentation will follow the life story of a woman who came to the present-day Elkins area before the Civil War\, outlived two husbands\, and raised her many children in the area. The White River of the Elkins area drew many settlers (from the first humans to today) to the area\, including the woman in the topic of the presentation. Everyone has a story to tell- come learn about how local rivers in the area impacted the lives of early settlers! \nAlan Bland\, retired Beaver Lake Army Corps of Engineers Ranger\, worked on the lake for decades. Bland will present more present-day histories of how Beaver Lake came to be\, the intricacies of building the lake (or reservoir as this presentation will teach you!)\, and the benefits it continues to provide us every day. \nIn addition\, a display of the History of Beaver Lake\, commissioned by Beaver Water District\, will be available for viewing throughout the month of July at the Elkins Community Center. \nThis event is free to attend and all ages are welcome. Lakes Appreciation Month is an annual campaign in July\, with partners across Arkansas working together to raise awareness of the value and importance of our local lakes and reminds us all where we would be without them.

SUMMARY:Wisconsin Lakes and Rivers Convention
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Wisconsin Lakes and Rivers Convention! Our theme for your 2023 gathering is “Building Trust Around Water Together”. \nTrust is an important part of our everyday lives. We usually have trust in our family members\, friends\, neighbors\, health care professionals\, teachers\, and so many others in our communities. Trust is something that is earned and is also something that can be lost. \nDuring this event\, we invite you to build new relationships with individuals\, groups\, businesses\, and organizations. Let’s cultivate trust together so we can better collaborate and cooperate around the lakes\, in our watersheds\, and across Wisconsin. We also invite you to explore Wisconsin’s unique Public Trust Doctrine\, based on our state’s constitutional provision “that navigable waters are held in trust by the state for the benefit of the public.”

SUMMARY:Source Water Protection Week
DESCRIPTION:AWWA invites water utilities\, sections and other partners to join the Association in declaring Sept. 26-Oct. 2 the first-ever “Source Water Protection Week.” \nThroughout the week\, we will be raising awareness about the importance of caring for our precious drinking water sources. Source Water Protection Week materials are now available\, and many additional resources will be added between now and Sept. 26.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy Source Water Protection Week?\nThe best way to assure we have high quality drinking water at the tap is to protect our precious water sources. If we keep our rivers\, lakes and underground wells free from pollution\, it’s easier and less expensive to keep water safe and healthy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind more resources here.
