Water efforts require collaboration and time, Hill says
Iowa farmer Craig Hill argues Des Moines Water Works pursues a litigious path on water quality and urges broader consumer coverage of conservation progress. He notes nitrate declines in the Raccoon River since 2006, 16 demonstration projects, and 95 supporting organizations with over 11.8 million dollars in private funds and 7.5 million in state funding. He calls for a comprehensive, long term approach with all stakeholders and cites EPA praise for the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy. He emphasizes patience, collaboration, and transparent reporting for safe drinking water and healthy food.
