Transforming Drainage to Meet Tomorrow’s Water Management Challenges
Managing water for agriculture is an increasing challenge, with drainage needed for high productivity on about 50% of Indiana cropland while the potential is growing for both flooding in spring and water deficit during the summer. This presentation will discuss strategies for facing these challenges. Attendees will learn about new drainage systems that may include the potential to store drained water within the landscape to increase the sustainability of water for agriculture, based on research across the Corn Belt.
