The management of Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake watersheds will be the focus of meetings this week that begin tonight in International Falls.
Melanie Hanson, the Canadian co-chair to an international task force, says they'll be looking at issues effecting the waters and the efforts now being done to protect them.
"We'll be examining the current governance structures," says Hanson, "such as different boards, different committees and multi-agency arrangements. Any example where the two countries are working together to address water resource issues."
Tonight's meeting is at the AmericINN beginning at 7 p.m.
