Project Overview

In 2024 and 2025, Redwood-Cottonwood Rivers Control Area (RCRCA) will collect water chemistry samples from 3 stream sites (Crow Creek, Spring Creek and Wabasha Creek) within the Minnesota - Mankato watershed.

About the Issue

The primary objective of the Surface Water Assessment Grant (SWAG) program is to determine the health of lakes and streams in Minnesota. Through funded projects, local partners collect surface water quality data used to identify lakes and streams that are in need of restoration or protection strategies. The MPCA focuses these strategies at the major watershed scale.
