Summary of Water Quatity
throughout the basin, water quality in the Big Sioux River during the last 35 years has generally improved, but progress is slow, intermittent, and dependent on precipitation and river flows;
as evidenced by the Big Sioux River being recently named as a "High Impact" project by the US Department of Agriculture; and
making more water quality improvement projects a reality.
Meanwhile, DENR will continue to manage growing
