Memphremagog Watershed Association Non-point Source Success Story
Posted on
In 2015 farm the Mephremagog Watershed Association helped support a farm project to reduce phosphorus loading. In 2015 and 2016 water quality sampling was repeated at the two sites along the Strawberry Acres tributary to gauge if these projects had measurably improved water quality in this tributary. Total phosphorus concentrations at both sites were substantially lower after these practices had been installed.
