Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Time: 10:00 am to 2:00 pm (lunch will be provided)
Location: Way Public Library in Perrysburg, OH
Over the last two years the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Detroit and Buffalo districts have been working with researchers at the University of Michigan to develop sediment modeling tools that could be used by local stakeholders to minimize erosion and sediment delivered to the Maumee, Sandusky, and Grand rivers in Ohio and, subsequently, to Lake Erie. This collaborative effort, made possible by funding under the Great Lakes Tributary Modeling Program, is a joint initiative between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Great Lakes Region) and the Great Lakes states.
The Corps of Engineers Buffalo District, with support from the Great Lakes Commission, will host a technical workshop on August 11, 2009, to introduce a new tool that can be used to improve water quality in the Maumee, Sandusky, and Grand River watersheds. Representatives from the University of Michigan will be leading introductory sessions on the principles and use of the SWAT-based models to quantify the impact of land management practices within these watersheds. This workshop marks the end of this particular modeling effort and will serve to transfer the technological tools and knowledge back to the watershed communities for its continued use.
The workshop will be held at the Way Public Library, located at 101 E.
Indiana Avenue, Perrysburg, OH 43551, from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm (lunch will be provided). Directions to the Way Public Library are available at:
http://www.waylibrary.info. Organizations interested in learning to use the SWAT-based models are invited to participate in this technical workshop.
There is no registration fee for the workshop; however, space will be limited. YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER for the workshop by no later than Friday, August 7th.
