Curious about groundwater? Join the Portland Water Bureau and the Columbia Slough Watershed Council for Groundwater 201 - a FREE educational workshop and tour that will explore the mysteries of groundwater. After years of teaching Groundwater 101 to the public, we are pleased to offer a more in-depth class on our local groundwater source. In addition to talking about local hydrology and geology, we will talk about how models can be used to show us where groundwater can be found and how water moves underground as well as how modeling can help us protect groundwater.
The first half of the workshop will be a classroom session. The second half will consist of a tour of the Groundwater Protections Area, home of Portland's supplemental drinking water supply. The tour will stop at various locations where groundwater experts will talk about how our drinking water system works and measures we take on the ground to protect the water below. Transportation will be provided for the tour. Light refreshments will be provided. Space is limited to 25 so call or email today to reserve your spot. Registration is required. Participation in Groundwater 101 is not needed to register.
