Abundant quality fresh water is one of the most cherished treasures of any locale. Without it, the quality of life for its citizens and future generations is degraded. Only one hundredth of one percent (0.01%) of the water on Earth is fresh surface water, so the scarcity of this resource makes it especially important to monitor and protect its quality.
Located in the midst of the lakes region of north central Indiana, Kosciusko County has over 100 natural lakes. Water quality is often endangered with rapid growth and development in an area, and Kosciusko County is growing at a fast rate. What we know about the condition of the county’s water indicates that water quality varies widely throughout the area.
In order to protect the county’s valuable water resources, a concerted effort on the part of the community is necessary. For this reason, Grace College is embarking on an initiative to help the citizens of Kosciusko County promote and protect the quality of their waters.
