How can farming impact flooding? The Iowa Flood Center is finding out by comparing hydro weather stations on regenerative and conventional farms.
These stations collect real-time data on rainfall, wind, and soil moisture at multiple depths to reveal how different practices affect water retention and runoff.
"We’re gathering critical data to improve forecasting and resilience," says Kate Giannini of the Iowa Flood Center.
The goal? A statewide network to enhance water management across Iowa.
