Water Quality Forum

Water quality on Lake of the Woods is again the main topic of discussion at a two-day international conference in International Falls.

Todd Sellars of Lake of the Woods Water Sustainability Foundation says the findings of a report on phosphorus and nitrogen in the lake will be released.

"The results of the nutrient and water quality modeling that our Foundation has been doing with Trent University and Minnesota St. Cloud State University as well as Minnesota Pollution Control and the Ontario Ministry of Environment," says Sellars. "That's been a two year project, so it will be the first peak of the results of that work."

As many as 80 scientists from Canada and the United States are expect to attend today and tomorrow.
