The Conowingo Dam has been a topic of heated discussion for decades. In that time, we have learned more and more about the system and made decisions according to that learning. Along with the science behind the issue, the story of the Conowingo has developed over decades – who holds the pen, how has the science been communicated, and how has that influenced public perception and concern?

On October 20th, dug into the history, science, and story of the Conowingo Dam with three expert panelists.
