Questions:

1. Describe how you understand how our groundwater recharges. What role do climate cycles such as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation or Cycle play in our groundwater supply? How have drainage projects impacted our groundwater supply? Why is Polk County referred to as the "water tower" for the areas of the state to our south and west?

2. What do you think about the loss of Kissengen Spring as well as the times that the Peace River has become dry during the winter because groundwater does not support the flow of the river and there is limited addition of water to the river from rain. Refer to the conclusions from the groundwater study from the 1960's.

3. Discuss your opinions of the plans presented for alternative water supply as well as the Peace Creek Integrated Water Supply plan.

4. How do you think we can balance population growth, agriculture, and industry in this county with the need to protect recharge areas as well as green areas along the Peace River that improve water quality. Remember that the majority of our groundwater recharge occurs in a very limited area east of the Peace River. How does your personal water footprint figure into this balance?

5. Discuss any other thoughts and opinions that you have on the this topic.
