Rochester's Got a Plan

A new report indicates that about half of Rochester's potential water is not accessible, partly because so much has been built over it.

The city started taking a look at its water resources after a drought three years ago, but their work seems particularly relevant today.

Hydrologist James Emery, with Emery and Garrett groundwater located in Meredith, NH, has found new sources for Rochester and presented his findings to the city council last week.

He says Rochester's problem - like many old towns - is that it never had to think about groundwater before.
