Water Quality in the CT River: what is it and how is it measured?
September 14, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT
CRC River Steward Kelsey Wentling will present as part of the Connecticut River Museum’s 2022 Lecture Series.
Once known as the most beautifully landscaped sewer in America, the Connecticut River has been burdened by a reputation of poor water quality for decades. While the Connecticut was the archetypal polluted river of the time, much has changed in the 60 years since it was dubbed with this undesirable title. This lecture will focus on the basics of what good water quality means and how we measure it in the Connecticut River. We will discuss what has changed in the last 60 years and the progress still to be made in the next 60 years.
This event has a fee.
