Abstract

This paper presents the case of a voluntary watershed project that addressed the need for improving water quality by reducing agricultural nutrient loss. The Beargrass Creek Watershed Approach Project in Wabash County, Indiana aimed to demonstrate that it is possible to achieve ambitious water quality goals and maximize the effectiveness of conservation funding through locally-led efforts that bring together multiple stakeholders throughout the process. The project focused on implementing the “right practices” in the “right places” through a goal-oriented, science-based, and locally-adapted approach to voluntary conservation. We examine and evaluate all three phases of the project and discuss successes and lessons learned from the point of view of both agricultural producers and agency staff from the local Soil and Water Conservation District and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

熊草的故事:用社会科学来评价和学习“分水岭方法”
本文介绍了一个自愿流域项目的案例,该项目通过减少农业养分损失来解决改善水质的需求。印第安纳州沃巴什县的Beargrash Creek流域方法项目旨在证明,通过地方主导的努力,在整个过程中将多个利益相关者聚集在一起,有可能实现雄心勃勃的水质目标,并最大限度地提高保护资金的有效性。该项目的重点是通过目标导向、基于科学和因地制宜的自愿保护方法,在“正确的地方”实施“正确的做法”。我们对项目的所有三个阶段进行了审查和评估,并从当地水土保持区和自然资源保护局的农业生产者和机构工作人员的角度讨论了成功之处和经验教训。
