The Water Resources Department focuses on preserving and restoring the quality of water resources by implementing and coordinating water planning; identifying and changing practices that degrade groundwater; managing well, shoreland, floodplain, feedlot and septic system regulating programs; addressing impaired waters; and providing educational outreach.
In addition, the Water Resources Department monitors and analyzes groundwater to identify contaminants, their sources, and flow paths. Specific studies include the annual Ambient Groundwater Study and the Hastings Area Nitrate Study II.
The Water Resources Department is the operational agent for the Vermilion River Watershed and collaborates with the Dakota Soil and Water Conservation District to monitor and analyze surface water flow and pollutant sources.
