Mullenbach Two-Stage Ditch copy

Project Description

In agricultural driven landscapes, fish habitat may be comprised of straight, aggraded drainage ditches with little to no access to the floodplain. The University of Minnesota teamed up with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Mower County Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Nature Conservancy to design, construct and assess the Mullenbach two-stage ditch in Southeastern Minnesota.
