Synopsis
Lake Decatur is a large public water supply reservoir experiencing issues with sedimentation and excessive nutrient loading, especially nitrogen. Northwater was retained as the lead consultant to assist in completing a watershed implementation plan for Big Ditch and Big and Long Creek. Both watersheds drain to Lake Decatur and export very high rates of nitrogen; the plan focuses on reducing nitrogen loads by targeting strategic treatment practices on agricultural ground.
