Learn about the possible opportunities to use the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework tool for identifying conservation techniques in the areas on the landscape where they will make the most significant water quality impact.
Water Cooler Talk: Pinpointing Nonpoint Source Pollution will discuss the potential opportunities to use the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework tool for placing conservation practices in the areas on the landscape where they will make the most significant water quality impact.
Nonpoint source pollution is very common under any kind of land management, including agriculture. The sources of these pollutants are not always well known, and solutions, like conservation practices, to reduce pollution often are not placed in the correct locations in the watershed to improve water quality. Researchers at Penn State University worked to apply a tool called the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) that was developed in the Midwest to agricultural lands in the eastern USA.
