SUMMARY:Financing Climate Resilient Water Infrastructure: Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative and the Mayors Innovation Project are hosting a webinar on Tuesday Feb. 21 at 11AM CST (noon EST) to provide an overview of financing needs and existing/emerging options for water and stormwater infrastructure for municipalities.

SUMMARY:2019 Wisconsin Lakes Partnership Convention and Water Action Volunteer Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The annual Lakes Partnership Convention and Water Action Volunteers Symposium will take place in Stevens Point\, Wisconsin. This year’s theme\, “Pay it Forward\,” is a popular concept. When someone does something for you\, instead of paying that person back directly\, you pass it on to another person instead. This practice can certainly be seen with lake and stream volunteers\, professionals in natural resource management\, and all those who value our precious water resources. Many of us automatically do this type of activity every day. The 2019 Convention will share some of these inspiring stories of “paying it forward.” \nEvent website: https://www.uwsp.edu/cnr-ap/UWEXLakes/Pages/programs/convention/default.aspx\nContact: Amy Kowalski\nEmail: akowalsk@uwsp.edu \nPhone: 715-346-4744

SUMMARY:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Great Lakes Water Tension in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:The Great Lakes Seminar Series Spring Lecture is entitled “Great Lakes Water Tension in the 21st Century\,” featuring Peter Annin. Peter Annin is the director of the Mary Griggs Burke Center for Freshwater Innovation and the author of The Great Lakes Water Wars\, the definitive work on the Great Lakes water diversion controversy.  RSVP by April 30th (must be 21 or older); remote participation via webinar is also available. \nAbout the lecture: Water diversion controversies continue to make news across the Great Lakes region. From Waukesha\, Wisconsin\, to the Foxconn factory south of Milwaukee\, and the massive century-old water diversion in Chicago\, the Great Lakes region continues to struggle with how best to keep Great Lakes water inside the Great Lakes watershed.  In recent years\, Southeast Wisconsin has emerged as the frontline in the Great Lakes water diversion debate. But the State of Michigan continues to play an influential role in regional water management decisions—as it has for decades. Last Fall Peter Annin published a major revision of his award-winning book\, The Great Lakes Water Wars\, to coincide with the 10th Anniversary of the Great Lakes Compact. The book includes chapters about all of the water diversion hotspots mentioned above\, as well as many others. His talk will help cut through the confusion surrounding the Great Lakes water diversion debate and put Great Lakes water tensions in a regional\, continental and global context. \nEvent Website: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeGwXDlcNG1BLrlOi1nYhCnQdYGYCMg6NvuKNiT00Mnq-xn2w/viewform\nContact: Mary E.
