A information -packed, hour long update on water issues in CT awaits us all on Friday, March 22cd- U.N. World Water Day. Speakers will include legislators, heads of state agencies, and environmental advocacy groups. Much of the world has no potable water. In CT we are largely blessed with an abundance, though emerging issues in water protection have become notable: parts of the state must regularly conserve, toxic substances are entering the aquifers, watershed lands are at risk of development, and CT waters are being promoted for sale to outside corporations. More ominously, the business and water utility lobbies are fighting fiercely to limit the importance of "water as a public trust" in our state water plan. All the water that we will ever have is already here on earth!
