In the past 10 years, Iowa State University Extension has been part of many water quality special projects. These projects have been funded by both state and federal programs for targeted areas, throughout the state, where water resources are threatened by agricultural non-point source pollutants. Extension's role has been to demonstrate refined management practices and deliver education programs about effective management methods that reduce potential agricultural pollution while maintaining farm profitability. As soil and nutrient management are refined, profitability is often enhanced. This series of Extension reports describes information and education provided for Iowa's water quality projects, and how farmers have successfully applied them to protect our land and water.
All projects are partnerships between many agencies and organizations.
