One of the most serious challenge in this area is dealing with fluctuating water flow on the main stream of the Minnesota River and major tributaries. A major effort during this timeframe is support for a project to monitor proposed increases in agricultural drainage and seeking to mitigate increased flow resulting from those projects. In many cases this effort has taken the form of seeking environmental review of the projects. 0 3523 Green Summer Youth Program includes a hands-on conservation-focused day camp program designed to supplement elementary/middle schools existing summer programs.
