Water Quality

DES MOINES – The Natural Resource Commission (NRC) of the Iowa DNR will host its monthly meeting virtually, beginning at 9:30 a.m., on Jan. 8.

With a couple of above average temperatures forecast this week, the Iowa DNR reminds all paddlers that water temperatures remain dangerously cold.

Nearly $350,000 in 50% cost-share grants were recently awarded to 105 Iowa rural fire departments to help their efforts to protect Iowans from wildfires.

The DNR Water Quality Bureau has the following draft water use permits posted for public review.
