Update on Groundwater Presentation

MVIHES would like to thank all of you who came to the Groundwater presentation by Dr. Gilles Wendling on Friday evening (November 4th, 2011). We had an overflow crowd in a room that accommodates 180 people so there is no doubt that there is plenty of interest in this topic in the Englishman River watershed and beyond.

There will be a DVD available if anyone would like to view the presentation. Dr. Wendling's report will be posted to the website on December 1st.
