Let's Talk About Water MT

The overarching theme of Let’s Talk About Water Montana is the inextricable connection Montanans have to our rivers & streams.

Science on Tap Nov 6th!

[Let's Talk About Water MT @MTWaterChat]

MCT was the perfect place to host #LetsTalkAboutWater MT - we had five diverse panelists, several local organizations and businesses tabling, and ~136 interested Montanans in attendance!

Nick transitioned into
#climate. The short of it: Montana will fare better than much of the country. We can take #adaptive measures now and elect climate-smart leaders to support adaptation. 💧 #MTWaterChat #ClimateChange

Corby kicked us off with a discussion about what factors influence our weather and snowpack and how the @NWSMissoula predicts them. ❄ #MTWaterChat

Thanks for coming out #Missoula! Two attendees asked @clint_muhlfeld how we can help native #trout. Reduce fishing in stressful times (hot temps and low water) and keep the #floodplain intact! 🐟 #MTWaterChat @WEFNexusUM #ImagineNationBrewing #ScienceOnTap

[Let's Talk About Water MT @MTWaterChat]

1️⃣Rivers were made to flow, to run, to move.

2️⃣But for centuries, we have controlled and dammed them.

3️⃣Today, we’re realizing that letting rivers be rivers has major benefits.

Check out a short video about how we collect aquifer stoneflies on the Nyack Floodplain. Thanks Renata and Crown of the Continent RLC. Staring Julia Cotter and Haley Dole. https://t.co/euZLQ2p7Oi via @YouTube @FLBSUM

Great work Ravalli County! #MTWaterChat #AquaticInvasives

Understanding the connection between above-ground and underground water is crucial for managing water use between water rights holders in MT, especially for irrigators and in drought.

[Amy W. Ando @AmyEcon]

This connection isn’t widely known outside hydrology. Groundwater pumping threatens surface waters, too.

[Montana Public Radio @mtpublicradio]

For the first time ever, once-toxic water from the Berkeley Pit, Butte’s abandoned open pit copper mine, is being pumped, treated and discharged into Silver Bow Creek.

For the first time ever, once toxic water from the Berkeley Pit, the abandoned open pit copper mine in Butte, is now being treated and released into the headwaters of the Clark Fork River.

Happy #WorldRiversDay!

[American Rivers @americanrivers]

Rivers are the veins that connect and support the world!

Let's celebrate them this #WorldRiversDay! 🌎

[Montana Public Radio @mtpublicradio]

The EPA is rolling out an updated plan to protect Anaconda’s creeks from copper smelter waste. But some locals this week said they’re worried the federal government may back away from #Montana’s strict water quality standards for heavy metals.
