GET WET! Training

Thursday, January 29 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. GET WET! Training: GMCG will host the annual Groundwater Education through Well Water Evaluation and Testing (GET WET!) training session for volunteers at the GMCG Conservation Center Blue Heron House located at 236 Huntress Bridge Rd, Effingham, NH. GET WET! is based out of the University of Maine and is designed to engage local students and the community in learning about and protecting drinking water. The mission of GET WET! is to bring collaborative environmental research into the community through the classroom in order to understand local environmental changes and promote public health through safe drinking water. Participants will learn how they can volunteer to help bring this important drinking water protection program to local schools and public libraries. Participants can bring in a sample of their home well water and test it for six parameters, including: chloride, conductivity, hardness, nitrates/nitrites, pH, and iron.
