Master Gardeners to hold groundwater seminar April 27

Posted

The Bell County Master Gardener Association will hold a free special event seminar “Groundwater in Texas,” on Thursday, April 27, from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Texas Agrilife Extension Office, BCMGA Learning Center (located on the North end of the parking lot), 1605 N. Main Street in Belton.  

Dirk Aaron, general manager of the Clearwater Underground Water Conservation District, will present a general overview of groundwater in Texas as well as “Conversation of Conservation in Texas.”

He will address how one person’s opinion on the role we all have in conserving water is confusing and emotional.  Dirk will address the question of ‘who purveys public water’ and ‘who governs public water.’  He will provide a historical perspective on the need for innovation and an injection of new people in leadership roles who are willing to address our aging infrastructure.  Class limit is set at 50.  Register at bcmgaspeakers@gmail.com online.

Donations are appreciated to support continuing education opportunities in Bell County.
