Harpswell Community School
Join State Hydrologist Jessica Meeks, PhD, as she kicks off our series by discussing Harpswell’s fractured rock aquifer. She will explain where our water comes from, how it gets there, and how we can balance demand with supply. Dr. Meeks will also address the risks of climate change, including saltwater intrusion in our wells.

Coming up: October 30
The Conservation Commission’s Water Witches will explore practical tools and techniques for balancing water demand with supply, including ways to help water stay on your land longer, allowing it to soak into the soil and replenish the aquifer.
