Field Trip - City of Ithaca Drinking Water Plant
Field Trip - City of Ithaca Drinking Water Plant
At the end of the summit, participants had the opportunity to tour the City of Ithaca Drinking Water Plant with Roxanna Johnston and learn about how drought has impacted their operations. For instance, during the drought of 2016, there was an increase in manganese levels in the city's water supply. You can learn more in this recently released video highlighting a new manganese forecasting tool developed by students at Cornell University.
