These partnerships usually mean funding from the District to these groups for outreach, but the District also host educational field trips and tours.This is a list of agencies and resources you may find helpful in addressing issues concerning water, solid waste, hazardous waste, personal or public health, recycling or the many other issues or questions you may encounter when you begin assessing and even changing some of your practices at home. What organization do you work with the most? They are concerned with source protection as the first step in water treatment, therefore they partner with Beaver Watershed Alliance, University of Arkansas, Natural Resources Conservation Science.Which is a bigger concern with the significant growth and development of this area, source amount or quality? Definitely quality, current plans and estimates determine there is sufficient sources of water to sustain for next 40 years.These altered chemicals sink to the bottom during a phase of the water treatment, and are removed from the water. They have their own water treatment facility on site for disinfection by products (DBPs), which are formed in the chemical treatment methods to get rid of nitrogen and phosphate, which are not soluble. What is your biggest water quality challenge? Turbidity and algae are bigger treatment problems than bacteria.There are three other water treatment entities that draw water from the lake for customers in surrounding counties, the intakes are spread well around the vast lake. How do you work with the Corps of Engineers? The District has a contract with the Corps to draw water from the lake.The district supplies water to more than 300,000 people. It is the city’s job to distribute to customers (homes, businesses, etc), to treat the wastewater, and to maintain their own infrastructure. What is Beaver Water District’s role in getting water from the lake to residential homes? The District is a regional water utility and provides 4 main customers with treated water from Beaver Lake who then distribute to customers in their cities.Is most of your work engineering based? His work is mainly outreach and oversight, engineers on his staff use their skills in modeling water supply and treatment process.Robert Morgan, PhD., P.E., Manager of Environmental Quality at Beaver Water District The updated Arkansas Water Plan was published in 2014. After that, the supply was analyzed, and it was determined that the state is in relatively good shape, with the exception of irrigation in Eastern Arkansas (too much groundwater is extracted than naturally returns to the aquifers). Stakeholders were asked to determine the most reasonable water use projections, settled on 155 gallons per day per person on a municipal water supply. In 2011, a new and updated technical analysis was called for, the work was contracted out, and the demand was calculated by looking at a baseline of 2010 data, stream gauge records, population trends, and water use in industries. The 1980 drought made people interested in water plans again, which led to many technical and policy updates to the Arkansas Water Plan published in 1990, with 28 things identified for improvement.

In 1969, state legislature outlined what they required of a state water plan, which worked for the next 10 years. Since the 1930s various state agencies looked at trends in quality and quantity.
