Around the watershed

8/26/10

The Great Miami, Stillwater and Mad Rivers were today (Aug. 26) officially designated as Ohio Water Trails by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources at a ceremony at the confluence of the three rivers in downtown Dayton. About 80 people came out to celebrate the announcement that ended with a ceremonial launch of paddlers in kayaks. Also, check out MCD's interactive map to help paddlers and bikers plan trips up and down the river corridor.

Private well owners in Greene County can bring a sample of their well water to the Test Your Well event on Tuesday, Sept. 28, from 4 to 6 p.m. The event will be held at the Greene County Environmental Services, 2145 Greene Way Blvd. in Xenia. Water samples will be tested for nitrates and arsenic while you wait. For more information, call 937-372-4478 or go the Greene County Soil and Water web site.

Did you know that the Miami Conservancy District dams have no moving parts? The conduits (concrete openings) in each dam are sized to allow the amount of water to flow through the dam that the river channels in the protected cities below can safely handle within their banks. Any excess flow backs up behind the dams in the retarding basins upstream of the dams.

One in 5 high school seniors admits to abusing prescription painkillers, often found sitting in parents’ or grandparents’ medicine cabinets. Properly disposing of unwanted medications can be tricky. They shouldn't be flushed and throwing them in the trash isn't a good option either. But there is another way. Take advantage of the Dispose of Unwanted Medications Properly (DUMP) events.
