SUMMARY:Mapping Flood Risk Across the Beaver Lake Watershed: Free Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join us and our partners on April 30th from 9 – 10 AM for a kickoff webinar introducing a new flood modeling project for the Beaver Lake watershed. This effort will develop a two-dimensional model to better understand how stormwater moves across the landscape and identify areas most vulnerable to flooding. During this session\, we’ll share the project’s goals\, approach\, and how it builds on existing data and local knowledge. We’ll also discuss how the model will support watershed planning and lead to the development of a user-friendly mapping tool. \nThis free webinar is an opportunity to learn about the project\, ask questions\, and hear how this work can help inform future planning and flood resilience efforts across the watershed.

SUMMARY:Rain Garden Design Workshop at the Mount Sequoyah Retreat Center
DESCRIPTION:The Alliance is excited to partner with the Illinois River Watershed Partnership for an interactive rain garden design workshop! Participants will receive expert guidance on rain garden design and care\, sketch out ideas for their own home gardens\, and help plant the newest rain garden on the mountain. \nIn honor of Mother’s Day\, this event is designed for the whole family with activities planned for kids and parents! While the adults learn\, children will be taken on a nature walk around the mountain designed to spark curiosity and care for the watershed. Moms and caregivers will take home a native plant of their own – a small reminder that stewardship begins by putting down roots\, one act of care at a time. \nThis event is free to attend!  \nRSVPs are required. To RSVP\, visit https://www.irwp.org/events/mount-sequoyah-5-9-26 \nEmail info@beaverwatershedalliance.org or text/call 479-750-8007 with any questions.

SUMMARY:May Arkansas Water Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Register Now for the May Arkansas Water Webinar!  Register Here \nWHEN: Thursday\, May 21\, Noon- 1 p.m. \nTITLE: Land Use Impacts on Water Quality in Central Arkansas: A Three-Year Comparative Study of Urban\, Agricultural\, and Protected Drinking Water Watersheds \nAgricultural and urban expansion increasingly impacts water quality in the southeastern United States\, yet comprehensive studies comparing agricultural watersheds to other land uses are relatively rare. Understanding these different impacts is critical for targeted watershed management and protection of drinking water resources\, particularly for the growing population of nearly 500\,000 people in Central Arkansas. This study presents results from a three-year monitoring program comparing water quality across urban\, agricultural\, and protected drinking water watersheds in central Arkansas to quantify land use effects and identify priority management areas. \nSPEAKER: Heather Black\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Geology\, University of Arkansas\, Little Rock\, hblack@ualr.edu \nREGISTRATION:\nWebinar Registration – Zoom \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. We look forward to seeing you there! \nUpcoming Arkansas Water Webinars\nBelow is a complete line-up of 2026 Arkansas Water Webinars. Save the date for our upcoming webinars and register today using the links! \nThursday\, June 18 | Noon-1 p.m.\nTitle: Long-term monitoring reveals the seasonal and annual pulse of a Central Arkansas drinking water reservoir \nThursday\, August 20 | Noon-1 p.m.\nTitle: Working Lands\, Shared Waters: A Collaborative Conservation Case Study in War Eagle Creek \nThursday\, September 17 | Noon-1 p.m.\nTitle: Floodplain Restoration & CommuniTree Program \nThursday\, October 15 | Noon-1 p.m.\nTitle: Assessing Source Springs and Fish SGCN in the Northwest Karst Region of Arkansas \n  \n

Bridge to War Eagle is a 30-minute film about a wild stream\, protected only by the folks who use it\, and illustrated by the stories of those who love it. The narrator is country music star Joe Nichols of Rogers\, Arkansas\, who’s been coming to the War Eagle his entire life. \nThis program is made possible by a grant from the Audubon Arkansas\, through the William Rufus Stephens Junior Memorial Fund\, Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism\, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission\, Beaver Water District\, and Jim Lindsey-The Lindsey Company. \nOne Acre at a Time:\nThis short film made in collaboration with SUDO Studios\, offers an inside look at Northwest Arkansas Land Trust (NWALT)’s work to protect land and water across Northwest Arkansas. The film follows NWALT staff as they work alongside landowners\, community partners\, and the landscapes they steward- providing a deeper look at who we are\, why this work matters\, and how conservation happens on the ground.

SUMMARY:June Arkansas Water Webinar
DESCRIPTION:What happens when a drinking water reservoir serving more than 80\,000 people starts experiencing occasional harmful algal blooms and water quality problems? Find out at the next Arkansas Water Webinar\, hosted by the Arkansas Water Resources Center on Thursday\, June 18\, from noon to 1 p.m. \nBrewer Lake is a mesotrophic drinking water reservoir serving >80\,000 people in Central Arkansas. In recent years\, this reservoir has exhibited occasional harmful algal blooms and seasonal nuisance taste-odor issues. Toward an ecological diagnosis of the cause\, we have monitored water quality year-round at Brewer Lake since 2019\, focusing on lake physico-chemistry\, nutrient dynamics\, and taste-odor compounds. Complementary research by our group has characterized watershed loading and lake-bottom sediment storage and release of nutrients into lake surface waters. In this presentation\, I will describe how the seasonal and annual pulse of Brewer Lake reflects lake mixing and stratification\, coupled to changes in lake nutrient dynamics. I will link our research insights to outcomes including improved drinking water treatment and development of a watershed management plan for Brewer Lake. Our work demonstrates how scientists’ collaboration with a water utility can advance source water protection in the long-term. \nSpeaker: Hal Halvorson\, PhD\, Associate Professor\, Department of Biology\, University of Central Arkansas\, hhalvorson@uca.edu \nDr. Halvorson is an Associate Professor in the Biology Department at the University of Central Arkansas. He and his lab group study the ecological of freshwater ecosystems\, with particular focus on the inter-relations among water quality\, microbes\, and invertebrates. He earned his B.A. in Biology and Chemistry from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Arkansas. He has studied Brewer Lake for >6 years with particular focus on water quality and nutrient cycling. He lives in Little Rock with his husband\, Nathan. \nRegister here!\n
