The Water Quality Data Collection brings together research and collaborative insights aimed at understanding and improving Vermont’s agricultural and freshwater systems. Anchored by the Final Report on Lake Champlain water quality, the Vermont Dairy and Water Collaborative’s Call to Action, and an in‑depth analysis of subsurface agricultural tile drainage, this collection highlights the environmental challenges facing the state’s waterways and the agricultural practices shaping them. Together, these resources offer a clearer picture of current conditions, the impact of farm management on water health, and the shared, community‑driven strategies needed to restore and protect Vermont’s waters for the long term.
