BAZILLE GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT AREA

Water Balance isn’t just about quantity, it’s also about thoughtful stewardship of water quality for future generations. As a society we are always learning improved ways to produce the food we eat. Knowing how to produce a crop with more responsible management is on the mind of any successful farmer. Improving performance while improving water quality is value added. In Northeast Nebraska, many of the communities are faced with a growing issue of nitrate contamination in their drinking water supplies. These problems are challenging and expensive to address, so prevention is paramount where possible.
