Our program was queued up by Lee Ganske from the Minnesota Pollution Agency. Lee has been with the agency for 25 years and expressed his option on the status of pollution for the state, nation, and worldwide. As we hear about stories of concern in the pollution news, Lee sees a trend of concern in some regions of the United States of the southwest where water is scarce. Many major reservoirs have decreased their levels over the past years. Lee also expresses the situation over water is economical and will have a concern in the future.
Locally, Lee sees the Rice County lakes as being healthy lakes. The idea brewing about pipelining Lake Superior is a topic that will come up in years as the southwest and west-central plains deal with continued drought.
