Iowa Water Quality Projects to Receive Grants

water_monitoring.gifIowa state environmental officials have announced that seven water quality projects in the state are expecting to receive $5.4 million in grants to improve water quality in lakes and streams.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources Director Richard Leopold said," Much progress has been made to improve the state's water quality, but there's still more work to do."

"The grants will help communities build upon what has already been accomplished," he added.

The grants are from a partnership of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the Iowa Department of Agriculture, the USDA and the local Soil and Water Conservation Districts.

The water quality improvement projects are planned for Tama, Fayette, Poweshiek, Clinton, Shelby, Appanoose and Audubon counties, as reported by the Associated Press, and published by Business Week.
