Aquifer Protection is Focus of Civic Association Meeting

The public is invited to the Moscow Civic Association meeting which will
be held on Monday, March 10, at 7pm in the 1912 Building in Moscow.  The
meeting will focus on protection of our aquifer and will include a panel
discussion on threats to the Palouse groundwater resource and what
citizens can do to ensure conservation of that resource, announced MCA
president Lois Blackburn.
The panelists in the discussion will include:
Bill French, founder of the Palouse Water Conservation Network;
Rachel Pascal Osborn, water rights attorney from the Center for
Environmental Law and Policy;
Dr. Elsa Kirsten Peters, geologist at Washington State University; and
Tom Townsend, member of the Palouse Basin Aquifer Committee.
Each panelist will make a short presentation about the aquifer and
answer questions from the audience.
The preservation of the aquifer is a critical issue for all residents of
the Palouse region, Blackburn noted.  In keeping with the MCA mission of
encouraging public participation in vital and current issues, the
association has assembled the panel to answer questions about the
aquifer and its protection.
