[All] Assessing the GR Watershed Project

[Tanya I. Markvart]

Dear GREN members,

I couldn't make it out to the GREN meeting tonight (Nov. 18th),  
unfortunately. But I wanted to speak about a particular topic during  
the "Member Updates" portion of the meeting:

As part of my PhD, I'm undertaking a sustainability-resilience  
assessment of the Grand River Watershed. I'll be collaborating with  
lots of different people with different types of knowledge (local and  
scientific). The assessment will involve describing the various  
pressures affecting the sustainability of our surface and groundwater  
sources, from north to south all the way to Lake Erie.

I was hoping to gage the level of interest in collaborating with GREN  
members every now and then. This will involve me talking to GREN  
members about what they believe are the significant pressures (e.g.,  
cyanobacteria, development on the moraine, the big pipe to Lake Erie,  
population growth, management regimes, growth paradigms, etc.)  
affecting our water sources.

Please respond to me (not to the whole group) if you would be  
interested in participating through interviews and/or group meetings.  
Thanks! I hope to hear from you.

Best wishes,
Tanya Markvart
