NMC to host virtual water forum

November 19, 2009

TRAVERSE CITY, MI – Northwestern Michigan College’s Water Studies Institute will be a virtual host of the Water Environment Research Foundation’s fifth annual Research Forum on Dec. 8.

Forum presentations will be fed live from Washington DC to the Hagerty Center on NMC's Great Lakes campus. The event will focus on latest important information about wastewater, stormwater and water quality research and feature a keynote speech by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson.

Participants will choose one of two tracks: Operations and Technology, or Water Quality. Multiple sessions are scheduled for each track. The event will conclude with a discussion of the state of knowledge and desired outcomes for northwest Michigan.

High school and college students may attend the Forum free of charge. Due to the technical level of the research, students should at least be in their junior year of high school. Fee for professionals is $55. Attendees are asked to register by e-mail in advance and pay at the door.

More information on specific topics or speakers is available here. The Forum is co-presented by Onsite Wastewater & Wastewater Education.
