Iowa’s Top Issue: Water Quality

Raccoon River Watershed 2.3 million acres Across 17 counties River is ~ 186 mi. long 73% of watershed is agricultural

What are the problems? Sediment and Nutrients Loss of habitat for fish and other aquatic species Downstream impacts on the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico

How do we determine what pollutants are in the river? Water Sampling and Monitoring

Where do pollutants come from? Two main categories of pollution sources – Point sources – Nonpoint sources Most of our current water quality problems come from nonpoint sources which are not regulated

“The Cuyahoga will live in infamy as the only river that was ever declared a fire hazard." Infamous Distinction… - Congressman Louis Stokes The Cuyahoga River – Ohio

Limited regulatory authority over non-point sources.
