Hedrick Smith, the producer of the PBS Frontline documentary “Poisoned Waters,” will deliver a lecture on water pollution tonight, April 27, in St. Paul.
The lecture– titled Poisoned Waters: The Pollution Peril — is sponsored by the Freshwater Society and the University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences.
The lecture will be at 7 p.m. in the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul Student Center theater.
More than three decades after the Clean Water Act was supposed to make America’s waters clean enough for swimming and fishing again, major waterways across the country are still in perilous condition. Runoff from industry, agriculture and massive suburbandevelopment is flowing into waters from Chesapeake Bay to the Mississippi River to Puget Sound.
