Grab your lifejackets and sunscreen — it’s boating season! But instead of coolers and fishing poles, the water resources management (WRM) cohort brought along turbidimeters, Secchi disks, and plenty of scientific curiosity.
On Beaver Dam Lake, seven WRM students spent the day working with local partners on their practicum project. From early morning water sampling to afternoon shoreline surveys, the cohort rolled up their sleeves to collect data, explore solutions to improve lake health, and build recommendations that will benefit both the ecosystem and the community.
