Join us for an open dialogue and conversation about how all of the water in our world is connected. The talk will explore the components of the water cycle, the meaning of “watershed”, and the basics of water and sewage treatment.
Our speaker, Dottie Baumgarten, is an educator at Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center. She has been working for Philadelphia Water Department since 2009 as a tour guide, in outreach, and as a speaker addressing classrooms of children, college students, and adult community members. Her talks include Watershed, Drinking Water Treatment, Sewage Treatment, and related topics.
The mission statement for Fairmount Water Works is: “We educate citizens about Philadelphia’s urban watershed – its past, present, and future – and collaborate with partners to instill an appreciation for the connections between daily life and the natural environment”.
