Department of Health\u2019s Office of Drinking Water Quality.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cIn the first session, we\u2019ll focus our discussion on how changing land use alters the natural hydrology and increases the risk of contaminating groundwater aquifers and surface waters,\u201d said Lisa Philo, a 溏心vlog免费B站 Cooperative Extension educator who is organizing the workshop with colleague Lorraine Joubert.  \u201cUsing the actual results of the recent Source Water Assessment conducted in Coventry, we\u2019ll summarize current practices and recommendations for controlling development impacts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe second workshop will address how to incorporate current practices for controlling development impacts into local zoning and land development ordinances.  It will emphasize the need for town action beyond the state\u2019s minimum standards, and it will offer questions that should be asked in the review of any proposed development project.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nFor more information about the workshops, contact Philo at 401-874-5687 or <a href=\"mailto:lphilo@mail.uri.edu\">lphilo@mail.uri.edu<\/a>.
