Regional Groundwater Resilience Assessment

When: Thursday, September 10 from 5 pm to 7 pm
Where: Kettle Pond Visitor Center, 50 Bend Road, Charlestown
Who: Hosted by the Charlestown Climate Resilience Commission (CCRC)

Join the CCRC for the kickoff of a Regional Groundwater Resilience Assessment.

Join other community members and experts for an exploratory conversation about the health and resilience of our groundwater aquifer. Share what you’ve experienced, discuss what is known today, and learn where we need more information to make decisions that will preserve our most essential natural resource.

The CCRC will begin scoping the problem: How much water can our aquifer sustainably provide, and will that water remain safe to drink, now and as conditions change?

Hear from experts on the current state of knowledge and groundwater resources
• Discuss the scope of the problem, where and when there are quantity and quality concerns
• Talk through what we’re seeing change and what issues are emerging
• Begin identifying the questions that matter most for local and state planning and decision-making
