This overview presents a comprehensive partnership dedicated to protecting and conserving water quality and quantity. With 63 members, including federal and state agencies, local governments, and agricultural groups, our collaborative approach fosters community involvement. We aim to incentivize the use of Best Management Practices (BMPs), ensure effective implementation, and provide essential education. Our accomplishments include significant water savings and notable reductions in nitrogen application, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable agricultural practices.
