This month’s presentation will be at the Healthy Rivers Partnership offices in the West Bottoms. See below for directions and info on dinner.

In July we learned about the Missouri River as a direct source of drinking water. This month, David Stous and Pat Higgens will take a peek below the river, at the mysterious and very large quantity of water contained that flows through the sediments of the Missouri River flood plain. And they’ll look at some the technology used to access this valuable water resource.

David Stous, P.G., P.E. has made a career of exploring the alluvial aquifer of the Missouri River valley for Burns & McDonnell.

Dinner during Presentation

For a suggested donation of $10, Healthy Rivers Partnership will be serving cheese tortellini with meatballs, salad, garlic bread and a drink (beer, wine, tea or soda). More drinks and dessert available for additional donation.

Directions

This month’s presentation is at the Healthy Rivers Partnership offices in the West Bottoms, 815 Woodswether Rd at the corner of Woodswether and Madison. There is parking either along Madison or further south on Madison, just past the overpass, at the parking lot by the caboose park.

There are several ways to get there.

From the east via I-70 West:

• Exit at Broadway.
• Turn left. Instead of proceeding on the Broadway bridge, veer slight right, then cross under to the left onto Woodswether.
• Turn left on Madison. You can either park along Madison or park near the caboose park further down the road.

From Kansas via I-70 East:

• Exit at Central Ave. Head east.
• Turn left on Mulberry Ave.
