Evaluation of Nutrient Retention Basins for Treating Drainage from Agricultural Landscapes
Recipient: 
Jeffrey Strock - University of Minnesota Southwest Research and Outreach Center, jstrock@umn.edu (507) 752-5064
2008 Fiscal Year Funding Amount:
$183,910

The goal of this project was to better understand and measure the effectiveness of retention basins on agricultural lands. Retention basins are essentially water storage areas; they are designed to temporarily store water while removing nutrients and sediment. Retention basins can be used to filter both surface and subsurface runoff.
