A look at Sheridan’s city drinking water will kick off the Sheridan College Museum of Discovery’s first science lecture for this spring.
The online presentation will start at 7 p.m. next Wednesday and will be presented by Matt Enger, U.S. Forest Service hydrologist, and Jon Warder, U.S. Forest Service forest fire management officer for the Bighorn National Forest.
Focus of the lecture will be the Sheridan Municipal Water Shed, including its source, threats and proposed actions on the Bighorn National Forest.
According to managers from the Sheridan Area Water Supply Joint Powers Board and the Wyoming Water Development Office, the Sheridan municipal watershed, which is sourced almost entirely from lands managed by the Bighorn National Forest, is at risk.

As cases and deaths increase rapidly, people are scared and upset. They’re spending hours on websites and hotlines struggling unsuccessfully to get vaccine appointments.
President-elect Joe Biden’s vaccine distribution plan, which he announced Friday, doesn’t offer them much hope. Biden said he’ll open 100 federal vaccine sites in school gyms, community centers and stadiums the first month. That’s for the entire nation.
