Watershed Foundation Hosts Lake Science WorkshopHave you ever wondered about the science behind our local lakes? How did they form? What does turnover mean? Why is the water colder if I dive down deep? What causes weed and algae growth? What are the effects of pollution?
The Watershed Foundation and an expert from Indiana University have the answers and they’d like to share them with the public.
The Watershed Foundation is hosting nationally recognized professor Melissa Laney, from Indiana University, to lead a “Lake Science 101 Workshop” at Winona Lake Pavilion from 6-8 p.m. July 11.
Laney specializes in limnology, watershed management and water resources. She has been on the faculty at Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs since 2000. Laney is the director of the Indiana Clean Lakes Program, as well as project manager and quality control officer of IU's Limnology Laboratory.
This is a hands-on workshop for non-scientists who want to learn about how lakes work and why. Come ready to participate and explore through interactive activities.
A light supper will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by the presentation from 6-8 p.m.
There are two ways to reserve a seat: Call the foundation at 574-834-3242 or click on “lake science 101” in the list of events and fill out the form.
