ACWA Expands | now includes Des Moines River watershed
ACWA has expanded membership and activities into the Des Moines River watershed. ACWA President Dave Coppess of Heartland Coop says the organization's presence in the Des Moines River watershed makes sense for a couple reasons.“Our partnership with the Des Moines Water Works (DMWW) is an important one. The DMWW relies on both the Raccoon and the Des Moines Rivers for source water and we thought it was appropriate to duplicate the ACWA model there. Our objective is the same - to establish a comprehensive database of water quality monitoring information and keep learning as much as we can as quickly as we can. As we find ways to bring partnerships like this together and build ACWA, we hope the ACWA model can be used by other ag retailers throughout Iowa, the Midwest as agriculture works on its part to achieve environmental balance.”
