The Unseen Lifeline: Groundwater’s Role in Cape Cod’s Ecosystems

Thursday, Mar 12, 2026, 3:00 PM-5:00 PM
Join us in person at MASSTC for a deep dive into the hidden world beneath Cape Cod!
The Massachusetts Alternative Septic System Test Center is located at: 4 Kittridge Road, Sandwich, MA.
Visit our website homepage for instructions to find us: www.masstc.org<http://www.masstc.org/>
Space is limited! Please RSVP here: https://www.masstc.org/events/
Join the Barnstable County Clean Water Center for a special National Groundwater Awareness Week event featuring Denis LeBlanc, Scientist Emeritus, and Marcel Belaval, Deputy Director, both with the U.S. Geological Survey’s New England Water Science Center<https://www.usgs.gov/centers/new-england-water-science-center>.<https://www.usgs.gov/centers/new-england-water-science-center>
LeBlanc has spent five decades studying Cape Cod’s precious groundwater resources, coordinating multidisciplinary research on aquifer dynamics, contaminant transport, and long-term freshwater sustainability.
Belaval guides the USGS’s hydrologic science and monitoring programs in New England, drawing upon his expertise in groundwater, contaminant hydrology, hydrogeophysics, and his former position as hydrologist with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency New England Regional Office.
Discover how groundwater<https://www.masstc.org/project/groundwater-separation-study/> plays a huge role in our everyday life on Cape Cod as well as feeds our rivers, ponds, wetlands and marshes, coastal waters and estuaries, and drinking water wells. LeBlanc and Belaval will share insights from their work on the Cape’s hydrogeologic setting, groundwater flow, groundwater/surface-water interactions, the fate and transport of contaminants, and how science can be used to guide local and regional water management. Attendees will gain a deeper appreciation for the unseen world beneath our feet and how they can help protect this vital resource
Space is limited! Please RSVP here: https://www.masstc.org/events/
