Important presentation this evening on Flathead ground water

Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology scientists John Wheaton and James Rose will make presentations on The Deep Aquifer & Subsurface Geology of the Flathead Valley, beginning at 1830 in the theatre of the Arts and Technology Building at Flathead Valley Community College.

The program promises to be interesting on its own merits, but it should also be very useful for citizens seeking a better understanding of groundwater and aquifer issues as they pertain to the proposal to bottle ground water near Egan Slough. The fish hatchery at Creston has filed a formal objection to the water bottler’s request for a water right for annually withdrawing 700 acre feet from the aquifer.

I hope to see you at the presentation.
