Prairie strips reduce fecal indicator bacteria concentrations in simulated runoff

Vegetative filter strips (VFS) have shown promising results in reducing the downstream transport of many agroecosystem contaminants. A recently developed type of VFS, prairie strips, has been shown...

Happy #FlumeFriday ! Recently took a family trip to Santa Cruz and came across this amazing Karst flow coming through a cliff. Check out the sediment separation and scour/deposition patterns, bedforms, jumps and standing waves! @geoMOOREph @ISUWaterChicks @drbillyjbeck

We had a great @ISU_ABE 110 lab "Experiencing Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering" with a sluice gate - hydraulic jump exercise today, examining the Froude number and flow characteristics in the Buss Hydrology Lab #Flume. @FlemJon4 @ISUWaterChicks @LeighAnnLong2 @IIHRUIowa

It might be cold outside but it’s toasty warm inside and students in ABE’s Nonpoint Pollution & Control class are getting experience collecting flow measurements in the ABE hydrology lab. ⁦@ISU_ABE⁩ ⁦@FlumeAndy⁩ ⁦@LeighAnnLong2⁩

Can #trees and #tiledrainage coexist? Quantifying #root intrusion for variety of tile types - including new ones we dreamed up! The best tree species, tile, H2O mgmt for saturated riparian #forest buffers? We’ll see! @ISUAgWaterMgmt @FlumeAndy @TylerAGroh @morganpdavisbgc

Finishing up flow calibrations @ISU_ABE for @AgriDrainCorp automated water control structures for use in #SaturatedBuffers, #Bioreactors, and #DrainageWaterManagement. We are making the switch from pressure transducers to ultrasonic sensors in a variety of setups.@ISUWaterChicks
