Ninety percent (90%) of Iowans say water quality is their number one environmental concern, according to a survey conducted in 1995 by Iowa State University.

Iowans are more concerned about the quality of water resources and the quality of their drinking water than any other environmental issue facing the state. 

 

To learn more about water and the ways it can be polluted, read Iowa Water Pollution, IAN 103 (.pdf) (download time for dial up customers might be long).

 

All Iowans can make a difference in maintaining a high standard of water quality by following just a few guidelines on the use of fertilizers and pesticides.

This web site will tell you what those guidelines are and how to use them.
