- Abstract
"This document is designed to assist rural landowners, land managers, and conservation professionals in protecting rural streams. The emphasis is on land and water management practices that reduce streambank, bluff, and ravine erosion.... Part One describes how Minnesota's landscapes were formed, how water continues to shape the landscape, and how land management affects water flows, shapes streams and rivers, and influences water quality.... Part Two describes land and water management practices that can be combined to reduce stream degradation and improve water quality. The practices range from crop management to large scale water storage."--Pages 6-7.
