Juli Crane, principal wetland specialist with the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission, will identify which local, state, and federal entities are charged with water protection, quality and regulation, discuss factors that are depleting our water supply, and suggest easy, practical, cost-effective ways to go about solving the problem with various sustainable practices.
