Canandaigua Lake Harmful Algae Bloom Forum
Join us on Tuesday, November 13th at 6:30 PM
This summer, Canandaigua Lake experienced an unprecedented Harmful Algae Bloom event that impacted our use and enjoyment of the lake. For the first time ever, detectable levels of toxins were found in the drinking water supply of a community drawing water from Canandaigua Lake.
Please join us on Tuesday, November 13th at 6:30 PM for an important community forum with leading experts to discuss results from 2018 monitoring efforts, the factors that influence algal blooms, and the local and Statewide efforts to protect our water resources.
Local initiatives to monitor water quality and build resiliency in our watershed will be highlighted by CLWA and the Canandaigua Lake Watershed Council.
Presentations will include:
"NYS DEC HABs Program: Results from 2018"
"HABs in Low Nutrient Lakes: Mechanisms, Knowledge Gaps, and Moving Forward"
Lloyd R. Wilson, PhD
Director of Drinking Water Program for NYS Bureau of Water Supply Protection, NYS Department of Health
"HABs and Drinking Water"
Presentations will be followed by a Q&A session.
Event is sponsored by the Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association and the Canandaigua Lake Watershed Council.
