Learn how water from the Rio Grande is taken in and treated to become your drinking water. It is expected that by August the Rio Grande will be too low so the treatment plant will switch to taking up ground water. Learn how this is done, the relationship between the river and ground water and how & when the treatment plant recharges the ground water. There will be a lot of walking, going in and out of buildings and climbing stairs. Long pants and closed-toed shoes are required. Bring a hat, water bottle and questions. Limit 16 people. Register by Aug. 11.
