Water protection in Iowa remains a battle
September 24, 2008

Iowa has a natural abundance of water, but it's an ongoing challenge to keep that water safe and fit for human use. As demand for ethanol and biodiesel continue to rise, more pressure will be put on waterways as fertilizer and other runoff enter the streams and rivers of the state. Economically, we simply cannot do without agriculture and the fertilizer it requires -- but managing those nutrients before they endanger public health can be costly.
