Water Conference Begins
An annual conference looking at the health of the Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake basin gets underway in International Falls today.
Organizer Todd Sellars says delegates to this year's forum will get a chance to provide some feedback on a interim report looking at the management of the basin.
"The IJC task force will be running a task force (this afternoon) a workshop to consult with the folks attending the forum," says Sellars. "It's a real good opportunity to provided input."
Some of the sessions will also focus on the state of the fisheries and effects of nutrients and algae on water quality.
