One more publication from our collaboration with scientists from IIHR - “Subsurface Nutrient Processing Capacity in Agricultural Roadside Ditches”, Keith Schilling, Matthew T Streeter, Martin St Clair, Justin Meissen, Science of the Total Environment, 2018, 637-638, 470-479. The paper presents some interesting possibilities regarding using roadside ditches to reduce nitrate levels in tile drainage.
We're off and running with another season of water monitoring! We completed a snapshot sample last week with the Iowa Soybean Association in the Middle Cedar. Together we sampled 60 sites in the watershed, where the city of Cedar Rapids has focused a great deal of attention on educating and assisting farmers with implementing best practices for reducing nitrate loss. We'll be doing monthly snapshots this summer in this watershed. Update: Adam Kiel of iowa Soybean Association put the results into a story map - take a look. This is a great tool for sharing this type of spatial data.
