Social-Ecological Systems Approach to Water Quality Improvements in two Iowa HUC-10 Watersheds

Prairie Rivers of Iowa Resource Conservation and Development (PRI) will develop an innovative framework that incorporates the efficient use of local public input and guidance through the use of a Watershed Management Authority with advanced conservation planning tools to meet larger Iowa water quality goals. This project will support the research and expansion of the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework, a land use planning tool that optimizes the placement of conservation practices at the watershed-level.
