Episode 3: SWIFT, nutrients, and DO w/ HRSD and DEQ Water Quality Standards team

We're continuing a deep dive on the York River basin in this episode - with a look at strategies combating some of the threats it faces. HRSD provides a glimpse at their SWIFT (Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow) project, including current successes and plans for York River implementation. They'll also shed light on nutrient reduction opportunities from facilities in the York River basin. Complementing these strategies is one focused on outreach and dedicated to DO (dissolved oxygen). We'll hear from DEQ on its related web experience and the way in which data from a variety of agencies and organizations is providing indications on the quality of habitat for aquatic life.
