I-DROP Research

I-DROP does research at multiple scales and with a variety of partners to stay at the leading-edge of water quality nutrient research, but more importantly, to ensure we remain focused on developing and communicating realistic solutions that matter. Ultimately, I-DROP is about more than just agricultural water quality. It’s about economically and ecologically thriving rural landscapes where folks envision good futures for themselves and their children.
