" League of Women Voters Park Rapids Area hosted two speakers Oct. 24 about the challenges and importance of maintaining a healthy groundwater supply.

Dr. George Kraft, a professor of water resources at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, shared examples from his state’s history of addressing groundwater issues.

Darrin Hoverson, the local area hydrologist with the Minnesota Department of Resources, explained how his department is studying and monitoring groundwater quality in the Straight River Groundwater Management Area (GMA) and the larger Pineland Sands geographic study area."
