The Waterman Farm 319 Demonstration and Education project, in particular, the two-stage ditch , has successfully leveraged nearly $300,000 in additional state and regional funding for research, education, and outreach on two-stage channels and alternative instream best management practices since implementation in 2010. We currently have three more pending proposals that, if funded, would leverage an additional $845,000 for state and regional work on alternative in-stream best management practices in agricultural ditches.
