This weekend, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton will host his first Governor’s Water Summit to call attention to the challenges facing Minnesota’s water supplies in rural and urban areas of the state, and to continue dialogue around addressing those challenges. The summit will bring together water quality experts, farmers, legislators, regulators, the business community, members of the public, local leaders, and a wide variety of other stakeholders.
The innovative summit will involve all interested parties by livestreaming remarks and panels. A companion online forum will allow participants and views to submit ideas and vote on challenges, as well as take an online survey regarding their water usage and concerns they have about Minnesota water.
