SUMMARY:June Arkansas Water Webinar: Beaver Lake Secchi Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the June Arkansas Water Webinar on June 19th! Beaver Water District’s Matthew Rich will be speaking about Beaver Lake Secchi Day– History\, Trends\, and Citizen Science. \nUnderstanding the source of one’s drinking water is imperative in preserving that source for future generations. Ensuring that drinking water sources remains viable is a goal that researchers\, water treatment managers\, and water quality conservationists can work toward for the entirety of a career. However\, without public buy-in\, the monumental task of source water protection would not be possible. To educate the citizens of northwest Arkansas about the source of their safe\, clean drinking water\, Beaver Water District initiated Secchi Day on Beaver Lake\, a citizen science engagement program. Beaver Lake is the source of drinking water for 1 in 5 Arkansans\, that is over 600\,000 people in northwest Arkansas. With this citizen science program\, we aim to bridge the gap between source and tap\, and 2025 marks the 20th Anniversary of Secchi Day. In this webinar\, Matthew Rich will discuss the history and formation of Secchi Day\, data trends from this citizen-scientist-collected data\, and what it takes to run a successful program like this. Matthew Rich\, an Environmental Specialist with Beaver Water District\, received his BS and MS degrees from the University of Arkansas. Between his degrees\, he spent time as a Research Associate and Lab Manager at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) researching the effects of oil spills on Louisiana marshes\, as well as annual hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico known as “The Dead Zone”. For the past 9 years\, he’s worked on source water protection issues\, along with citizen science engagement efforts like Secchi Day on Beaver Lake. \nREGISTRATION: https://uada.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MBWWz0TZQemqvZgcQmXi_w#/registration \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. We look forward to seeing you there!
