St. Johns River Water Withdrawal Symposium
You're invited to learn more about the affects of pulling millions of gallons of water from the St. Johns River. The St. Johns River Water Management District board has information that says 262 million gallons a day is the magic number.
"We're not satisfied that we have all the information that's necessary to go forward with these larger withdrawals," says SJRWMD spokesperson Teresa Monson.
Monson says that's why they have scientists and well-known experts conducting an accelerated study to advance existing understanding. The study costs $2 million.
Those scientists will present the information to you on September 17th and 18th at the Hilton University of Florida Conference Center.
Space is limited so pre-registration is required. Contact the Water Management District to register. The presentation is free and open to everyone. The Hilton is charging for lunch and snacks but you can bring a bag lunch.
