SUMMARY:New Policies for Data Centers and Large Water Users
DESCRIPTION:How can we ensure large water users such as data centers use our water resources sustainably and prevent pollution in our communities? As data centers proliferate across the Great Lakes region\, federal\, state and local governments are proposing new frameworks and policy solutions to manage their impact\, including the POWER Act (SB4016/HB5513) in Illinois. At the same time\, businesses are innovating sustainable solutions that reduce water use and prevent pollution. Hear from experts about the impact of these water users and solutions. Ask your questions on this virtual event. \nThis event is part of Chicago Water Week\, presented by Current. \nPanelists: \n\nAndrea Densham\, Director of Regional Government Affairs\, Alliance for the Great Lakes\nAndrew Rehn\, Director of Climate Policy\, Prairie Rivers Network\nHelena Volzer\, Senior Source Water Policy Manager\, Alliance for the Great Lakes\nRemarks by IL State Senator Ram Villivalam\n\nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Behavioral Insights to Improve Outreach and Protect Water Quality
DESCRIPTION:Leveraging Behavioral Insights to Improve Outreach and Protect Water Quality\nAbout the presentation: Achieving conservation aims in the Great Lakes region\, including protecting water quality\, enhancing wildlife habitat\, and building community resilience\, often relies on voluntary actions by farmers\, ranchers\, and rural landowners. Numerous agencies\, organizations\, and policies support farmer adoption of soil health practices\, improved nutrient management\, and managed tile drainage. Despite decades of effort\, adoption of key practices has lagged what is needed to reach larger conservation goals. National Wildlife Federation has worked with producers and conservation professionals for over a decade to improve outreach and conservation communications to reach new audiences and expand adoption of key practices. NWF programs apply insights from social and behavioral science to increase organizational capacity and identify novel strategies for increasing conservation adoption. This presentation will share key insights from NWF programs and outline research and extension needs to scale up adoption in the Great Lakes region. \nAbout the speaker: Adam Reimer is the outreach and evaluation scientist at the National Wildlife Federation. He has training in interdisciplinary social and agricultural science with a PhD from Purdue University. Adam has an extensive research background exploring farmer and landowner conservation decision making and the role of policy and social networks in conservation outcomes. At NWF\, he helps support local and farmer-led conservation outreach throughout the Midwest by leveraging social and behavioral sciences to develop effective engagement strategies. \nRegister HERE.
