Conservation Drainage Demonstrations: Improving Impaired Watersheds

Agricultural drainage systems in Minnesota are aging and much of the infrastructure will be repaired or replaced in the next 10-20 years, providing a unique opportunity to incorporate innovative drainage designs and practices into the existing infrastructure. The purpose of this project is to speed the development and adoption of conservation drainage practices in the State of Minnesota. Widespread adoption of innovative drainage systems by producers would likely have a significant positive impact on improving impaired waters.
