Advancing Watershed Goals
Watershed plans provide an opportunity for farmers and other stakeholders to link local needs and goals with the statewide Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy (INRS). This includes the following steps:
- Assess current levels of practice implementation
- Develop goals
- Identify priority implementation locations
- Estimate the resources needed
- Develop an outreach plan
Watershed plans enable stakeholders the flexibility to install the precise practices that will be effective and fit the landscape of the local watershed.
