In Part 3 of our 3-part series on Water, our forum panel discusses local water and how it functions as a healthy habitat for flora and fauna. We take a closer look at four types of water habitat: Stormwater; Ponds & Wetlands; Rivers; Seawater – and,

• Riparian zones for each of these
• Water quality testing when funds and resources aren’t available
• Impact of toxins and pollutants
• How does nature counteract the toxins and maintain life in this water ?
• Damming of water
• What’s the interplay among the types of water that connect with your area of attention?
