This seminar will present local volunteer and government efforts to manage our water resources to avoid overuse, mitigate drought effects, avoid well contamination, and promote citizen stewardship. Hydrology basics and the data collection programs of the Bridgeton, Nockamixon, Tinicum Groundwater Management Committee (BNTGMC) will be presented. Bring your electronic device so we can access the various websites that archive data and provide general information. Presenters include Dr. Art Baehr, retired USGS hydrologist, Dr. Stephen Donovan, Chair of Nockamixon EAC, and Todd Stone, President of the Gallows Run Watershed Association and Chair of the BNTGMC.
Bridgeton Township is seeking a volunteer to serve as a Bridgeton Township representative on the Bridgeton-Nockamixon-Tinicum Groundwater Committee. This committee is responsible for working with the governments of those townships to study and advise them on decisions affecting the quantity and quality of our groundwater within the three township’s shared watershed. The BNTGMC proposes and conducts scientific studies, regulatory reviews and educational programs. It also works to facilitate coordination of related municipal programs that ensure a safe, reliable and adequate water supply to support intended uses within the capacity of available groundwater resources.
