Projects
Southeastern Indiana Environmental Foundation, SIEF, Lake Santee Water Quality Field Day held on August 30, 2023 at the Clarksburg Volunteer Fire Department.
The purpose of this workshop was on how nutrient and sediment management systems work to improve overall water and watershed quality. Sediment runoff from crop fields carrying nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen can degrade water resources and create health and environmental risks. This affects our rivers , streams, lakes, and groundwater, which eventually impacts our drinking water sources. Attendees included farmers, water and sewer utility operators, residents, watershed advocates and agricultural companies. The USDA’s conservation programs connect these various community sectors to teach about how new technology can improve water quality. USDA has funding sources to help with these improvements.
