​Water Works
A Holistic Approach to Improving
National Water Quality

According to the United Nations, over the next 20 years the average global supply of fresh water per person is expected to drop by one-third. This reduction is caused by both natural and man-made interruptions to the water cycle.

​This webinar will elaborate on the sources of water pollution with tools and techniques for controlling them, including WQIag and NTT developed by NRCS. It will also discuss a thematic model that integrates the concept of TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) within the US-EPA Clean Water Act. This presentation will introduce a framework and systematic approach to improving national water quality and how your efforts can fit into it.
