Your Lake is like a human body. If it is fed properly, it is a healthy body. If
it is fed polluted nutrition, it becomes sick. Do you monitor the health of
your Lake or River by giving it a physical? If you find a problem, how do
you plan to resolve it?

A series of presentations will present problems, solutions, advice, and
results of several aspects of lake preservation.
An overview of a draft bill to be discussed to mandate 0-based P in lawn
fertilizer will be available on a display table along with several lake
association's display table demonstrations of "What's going on with their
group".
A "town hall" discussion of various issues presented by association
members from the floor.



Speakers
Joe Beach: Identifying and developing workable solutions pertaining to lake quality
issues. The goal will be to develop natural solutions in treating the body of water you are
working to improve. Identifying the problem, developing a plan of action then working that
plan to its conclusion.

Jay Gilbertson: Dakota Water Watch provides interested citizen volunteers with training,
materials and support to gather water quality information on lakes, rivers and streams in
their area. Unfortunately, information about water quality in South Dakota lakes and
streams is limited. With hundreds of water bodies to monitor, limited State resources can
not provide detailed evaluations of each and every one. Dakota Water Watch gives
participants the tools to learn more about the water that is most important to them, and
also help provideeveryone with a better understanding of the condition of these important
South Dakota resources.
Roger Foote: Take a virtual tour of the upper reaches of the Big Sioux River. See what we
are doing and promoting to preserve and protect our precious water resources. From the
head waters to Lake Pelican the upper Big Sioux drainage covers a wide and diverse area
with different concerns and resources.
