A decade ago, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce commissioned a study on the state’s water supply to provide an account of the resource so vital for everyday life and economic development.
Now, through the Indiana Chamber Foundation, the organization will release its follow-up research, “Water Policy and Planning: A 10-Year Update” on Monday. This new report is intended to set the stage for the production and implementation of an integrated water management plan for the state. Like its first effort, this study was prepared for the Indiana Chamber Foundation by INTERA Incorporated, which has a location in Bloomington.
Join the virtual press conference to learn about the report’s recommendations and ask questions of:
-
Jack Wittman, project leader and vice president and principal water resource hydrologist for INTERA
-
Greg Ellis, general counsel and vice president of energy and environmental policy and federal affairs for the Indiana Chamber
The virtual press conference will take place on Monday, August 19th at 1 p.m. The conference can be accessed through the following link:
