WEDNESDAY: It’s All About Our Water

February 10, 2014

Water is everywhere on the Shore, but the only drops to drink come from underground. As the only source of drinking water, groundwater’s sustainability and quality are essential for residents and communities.

The Eastern Shore of Virginia Ground Water Committee is sponsoring a Cape Charles-Cheriton Ground Water Summit 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, February 12, at Kiptopeke Elementary School. The summit will be an educational forum that answers critical questions and concerns related to ground water conditions for Cape Charles, Cheriton, and surrounding areas.

Participants will gain a better understanding of where their water comes from, how and when it got there, what is being done to ensure its quality, and what are its largest threats. Presentations include the area’s geologic evolution, what is and what is not known about the resource, and an answer to the question: “Is there enough water to support our community for generations to come?”

Britt McMillan, consulting hydrogeologist to the Eastern Shore Ground Water Committee, and Curt Smith, Director of Planning for the Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission, will answer questions from the audience.

Refreshments will be served. [Read more…]
