Farmland Water Management and Drainage Collaborative Strategy for the Thames River Basin

This session is on the OFA/Cities Initiative joint venture, a Farmland Water Management and Drainage Collaborative Strategy to Reduce PhosphorusLoss in the Thames River Basin. The 5-year, $7.5 million strategy has been developed in collaboration with agricultural groups, municipalities, drainageprofessionals, conservation authorities, NGOs and First Nations, to provide direct advice and assistance to farmers and municipalities to adopt best practices to reduce the surface and subsurface transportation of phosphorus off agricultural land either directly into waterways, or via municipal drainage systems
