Here in Tippecanoe County, we have been hearing a lot about the LEAP Project and water issues that have arisen as a result of its proposal. Ken and Colby had a chance to talk with Dr. Jane Frankenberger who is a Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue and studies water use and quality issues about the project and related policies and concerns. Dr. Frankenberger explains existing water policies in Indiana and highlights some of the community concerns about water use from Wabash River that are not addressed by those policies. You can read more about LEAP here: https://www.iedc.in.gov/leap-lebanon and about Dr. Frankenberger here: https://engineering.purdue.edu/~frankenb/.
