This webinar will feature presentations by two experts, Brian Brandt and Mark Kieser, who are currently working on projects to advance water quality trading programs for farmers and ranchers
An updated version of How's My Waterway (HMW) was released publicly in June 2020. HMW provides a comprehensive overview of water quality data and information in the United States on three different scales: community, state, and national.
These workshops are geared toward community leaders, local town and county officials, conservation specialists, dairy farmers, and area community members. Both workshops will feature an innovative manure applications panel, a producer-led watershed panel, in-field farm tours, and discussions on other relevant rural issues.
This webinar will feature two successful water quality projects supported by the Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program.
The Iowa Watershed Approach for Urban and Rural Resilience (IWA) is working in nine watersheds across the state to help reduce flood impacts, improve water quality, and increase community flood resilience. The presentation will include a description of the IWA and will discuss innovative tools and resources that are being used to support and carry out program goals.
