Description
A consortium of federal, state, local, and university representatives was formed in February 1994 to develop the Mississippi Delta Management Systems Evaluation Area(MDMSEA) project. The MDMSEA project was designed to use field-scale working farms to evaluate primary pollutants in Delta water resources and to identify BMPs that are most effective in reducing the transport of those pollutants in surface water and groundwater. Three Mississippi Delta oxbow lakes and the surrounding agricultural watersheds were selected for study.
