The St. Johns River Water Management District held a technical symposium Sept. 17–18, 2008, for the District’s scientists and its outside experts to discuss the first phase of the District’s investigation of potential cumulative effects of surface water withdrawals from the St. Johns and Ocklawaha rivers.
The symposium was intended to afford the technical working groups that are conducting the investigation the opportunity to become more fully aware of all of the interrelated aspects of the study, share technical information and exchange ideas between the working groups. The meeting offered an opportunity for these experts with diverse areas of expertise to collaborate and discuss any preliminary findings of the study as it relates to their disciplines and experience.
Public comment was taken at the end of each day’s proceedings. Comments were also submitted through Sept. 25 via a special link provided for that purpose.
