Tuesday, May 14th 6:30-7:30 PM

Paxton COA Community Room - 17 West St. Paxton MA

This presentation explains the water cycle on earth – both the natural cycle and the human cycle—and then reviews the local (Massachusetts) impact of climate change on both drought and precipitation. It presents the reasons why, as gardeners and environmental stewards, we need to start adapting to these climate variations to preserve and protect the quantity and quality of our natural resources. The second half of the presentation covers many practical and effective ways of being “Water Smart” to reduce water consumption, improve the environment, and maintain a healthy, productive garden. And save money (so we can buy more plants!).

As a Professional Engineer she is passionately committed to delivering safe, quality water as an essential community service. During her 40-year career with a global consulting firm headquartered in Boston, Carol has managed many large and complex drinking water projects.
