June 8, 2021: Lisa Loosigian of NHDES introduced the Soak Up the Rain NH program. A last-minute move to Town Hall to escape thunderstorms led to some technical challenges, but we did our best to record the presentation for those who couldn’t attend. To listen to the presentation, we recommend opening up the handout slides and following them while listening to the audio (which missed the first couple of minutes of the introduction but contains the rest of the presentation) through most of the talk (about 32 minutes), and then switching to the video of the last third of the talk to hear the discussion at the end.
Video of the middle third of the presentation, starting at about the 17:50 point on the audio is here, if you prefer to watch it that way. We did not get video for the first third of the presentation.
