Penn State Water Resources Team Attends 2014 Dairy Expo

The Penn State Water Resources Team attended the 2014 Dairy Expo at Penn State University on February 12, to educate dairy producers about water quality problems.

The team talked about private water systems, testing drinking water, and solving water quality problems on dairy farms.

Those attending the annual conference were asked to bring a water sample for the team to quickly analyze. 

In March of 2013, the water team also presented a webinar about their 2013 study on “Water Quality Issues for Dairy Cattle”, concerning livestock water supplies.
