About This Meeting

Water is a precious resource on islands, and conserving it is essential to maintaining healthy ecosystems and sustainable communities. In the Islands Trust Area, many residents rely on groundwater, but coastal aquifers face a unique challenge—saltwater intrusion. The risk of saltwater intrusion is of special concern for coastal aquifers, and the likelihood of saltwater intrusion in groundwater wells increases with pumping demand and from coastal hazards such as rising sea levels and storm surges. This webinar will explore the factors contributing to saltwater intrusion, its potential impacts, and practical steps residents can take to protect their groundwater. Join us to learn more and access valuable resources to support water conservation efforts in your community.
