Have you ever wondered why the rocks aren’t flat in the region? Or why there are so many springs? The presentation will provide an overview of the geology and water resources of the region. Then we’ll talk about the karst geology of the region and why it makes it such a special place with great farmland, a multitude of springs, and an abundance of beautiful views.
