Water quality in Alleman Creek, a small watershed in Iowa,
\nwill be monitored through stream nitrate sampling and streamflow monitoring. Nearly all
\nsubsurface drainage tile outlets in this watershed were treated with an edge-of-field
\nnitrogen reduction practice (saturated buffer or denitrifying bioreactor) as part of the first
\nPolk County Batch and Build Project. This project will assess the effectiveness of these
\nedge-of-field practices at scale by quantifying the reduction in nitrogen mass leaving the
\nwatershed. This watershed assessment will be contextualized with nitrate mass reduction
\nmonitoring of three individual saturated buffers in the watershed. This research will
\nprovide valuable empirical data on the effectiveness of edge-of-field water quality
\npractices at a larger scale as widespread implementation of these practices accelerates to
\nmeet water quality goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
