Much of Minnesota’s land use activities depend on natural and artificial drainage
The key issue is how we manage drainage!

Multipurpose Drainage Water Management Planning
“Multipurpose Drainage” – Engineered drainage systems that provide both private drainage benefits and public water management benefits • Must be for a Chapter 103E public drainage system • Must involve a Chapter 103E drainage authority (County or Watershed District) • Identify on-field and on-farm practices, as well as on-drainage-system practices, many of which are eligible for various program funding • Planning , targeting and marketing

Multipurpose Drainage Water Management Goals
15
• Provide adequate agricultural drainage for crop planting, productivity, and harvest
• Provide more equitable upstream to downstream drainage and protection
• Reduce peak flows and flood damages • Reduce erosion (field and channel) and sedimentation • Protect and improve water quality • Increase aquatic and/or terrestrial wildlife habitat

Ineligible Practices
• Tile, except for dense pattern tile to replace existing open tile inlet(s)
• Ditching • Culverts or bridges through roads • Ambient water quality monitoring
