Commercial or Industrial Relevance:
|
|
Meeting water quality and water conservation objectives is imperative for the continued sustainability of New Jersey's agriculture, livestock, and aquaculture industries. Development of good management practices addressing nutrient management, irrigation management, and runoff control are necessary tools for farms and other producers to achieve their water resources goals while maintaining or improving profitability. In agriculture-dominated watersheds, providing growers with the requisite education and tools will be critical in achieving state and federal water quality benchmarks for surface water bodies.
