SUMMARY:ANAB Water Stewardship Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Webinar on Water Stewardship is an overview of the best practices in the application of water stewardship when applied across an enterprise or at a specific site. Practical concepts\, such as understanding and baselining water use and impacts\, assessing risk\, building a business case for water actions and adding water aspects to current environmental management systems like ISO 14001 will be introduced along with landscaping current terminology and key water stakeholders.

SUMMARY:Perspectives on Navigating California’s Water Regulations
DESCRIPTION:A Discussion with Laura Ramos\nJoin Laura Ramos from the California Water Institute to discuss the regulatory landscape shaping California’s water use. This session will cover the importance of compliance\, the impact of IIJA and IRA funding\, and incentives driving sustainable groundwater management. Gain insights into how stakeholders can engage with regulations to create a more sustainable water future. Learn about resources and strategies to adapt and thrive within California’s evolving water economy.

SUMMARY:Connecting Soil Health and Water Quality in Agricultural Systems
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Relationship Between Soil Health Practices and Water Cycling – Andrea Basche\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln \n\nRetaining water in the soil is critical to ensure that farmers can take advantage of rainfall when it is in excess and can hold onto it when it is not. In this presentation\, the relationship between soil health practices\, such as the use of cover crops\, and water cycling will be highlighted. The presentation will also highlight research on multiple scales in the state of Nebraska\, including on-farm experiments and watershed analyses\, demonstrating the potential of soil health practices to improve water and nitrogen cycling\, and to reduce the frequency of high-flow water events. \n\nConnecting Soil Health Practices to Water Quality in Kansas – Emily Nusz\, EPA Region 7\, and Lena Wang\, EPA Office of Research and Development (ORISE)\n\nNitrogen is an important nutrient for crop yield and quality\, but excess nitrogen can leach from fields affecting groundwater and surface water quality. To improve soil nutrient retention\, many conservation groups and funding agencies are focused on building soil health in agricultural land. This research seeks to establish a monitoring framework for quantifying the benefits of soil health practices as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method to promote nutrient use-efficiency and protect water supplies that would benefit many small/rural communities. Our research indicates that use of soil health practices may increase nutrient storage and reduce nutrient leaching throughout the winter\, thus providing more nutrients in spring for crop growth.  This is valuable information for farmers and others working to improve soil health. \nPresenters and Moderator \nAndrea Basche\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln \nAndrea Basche is an Associate Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture. Her research team focuses on crop practices that offer “continuous roots” in the soil\, and the agronomy and resource conservation benefits they offer. \nEmily Nusz\, EPA Region 7 \nEmily Nusz is the Clean Water Act Section 319\, Nonpoint Source Water Quality Pollution\, State Coordinator for the State of Kansas at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\, Region 7. She works closely with the State of Kansas to implement soil health practices for water quality benefit as a technical advisor and project officer. \nLena Wang\, EPA Office of Research and Development (ORISE) \nLena Wang (pronounced Lina Wong) is an ORISE fellow based in EPA ORD’s Pacific Ecological Systems Division focusing on soil science and water quality. She earned a M.S. in Water Resources Sciences from Oregon State University in 2023. She is currently working as an ORISE Fellow with Jana Compton and Renée Brooks to understand how land management may influence nitrate leaching. \nJana Compton\, EPA Office of Research and Development – Moderator \nJana Compton is a research ecologist in EPA’s Office of Research and Development. Her research focuses on the connections between nutrient cycling on land and water quality.
