Additional Webinar Details:

This webinar series gives an overview of NRCS’s edge-of-field water quality monitoring and evaluation activity standards, history with water quality monitoring, and how NRCS anticipates working with producers and professionals to monitor water quality.
NRCS first became involved in edge-of-field monitoring in the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative using interim standard 799. Through the many lessons learned from those efforts, as well as those from the professional monitoring community, NRCS’s future involvement with edge-of-field water quality monitoring will be through activity standards that ensure the technical adequacy necessary to achieve all of NRCS’s needs to quantify water quality benefits, validate and calibrate NRCS’s models, and assist producers to make the best conservation investments possible. This training describes NRCS’s monitoring history and reasons for monitoring; the technical details of the new activity standards; and the programmatic details of getting NRCS edge-of-field water quality monitoring implemented on the ground.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Contact Shannon Zezula, State Resource Conservationist, Indiana NRCS, for more information about the webinars in this series.
