PROJECTS
The key to success of the RC&D Program is the local people.
The program provides assistance to local people to address local problems and needs.
The volunteer board and committees working on projects is what makes the program work.
The Maquoketa River Watershed Management Authority works to bring people and communities together to plan and voluntarily protect local drinking water, support positive soil health practices, reduce flooding and improve overall water quality within the watershed area.
This group is comprised of 35 entities: cities, counties, soil and water conservation districts and a lake district - all located within the Maquoketa River Watershed.
The MR WMA hopes to leverage funds to plan and execute projects within a nine-county area of Eastern Iowa with a goal of improving the environment, lowering nitrate levels in drinking water and mitigating flooding.
Limestone Bluffs RC&D is serving as facilitator for this organization.
