Analyzing the Extent of, Sources and History of Water Quality Issues in Iowa

Presentation Type

Poster Presentation

Abstract


The overall goal is to create a poster that will display information on water quality in Iowa as a whole. Our project matters because water affects every person, industry, and many policy decisions. Each member will focus on a specific area of research (extent of water quality issues in Iowa, sources of water quality issues in Iowa, and the history of water quality in IA) and will then compile our research together to formulate an accurate description of water quality in Iowa. We expect to find the extent of major water quality issues will be found statewide. We also presume that water quality issues come from a variety of sources (mainly agricultural). Finally, due to increasing awareness and action plans, we assume that water quality in Iowa has been steadily improving in recent years.
