Drainage Water Recycling Can Pay Off

The Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) conservation webinar taking place Nov. 19, at noon CST will feature Spencer Pech, civil engineer, ISG, and Chris Hay, owner and principal, Hay Water Solutions. Pech provides data-driven solutions for clients throughout the Midwest. His focus on agricultural water management is driven by a passion for providing win-win solutions to address agricultural and environmental resource concerns. Hay’s current work is focused on addressing the challenges of agricultural subsurface drainage and mitigating water quality impacts from agriculture.

In the webinar, “Economic Analysis of Drainage Water Recycling Systems,” Pech and Hay will draw on deployed projects to highlight the benefits of the practice and illustrate how drainage water recycling systems capture and store tile drainage water to be repurposed for irrigation that supports consistent crop production.
