Please join us for the second Web Seminar in our Series on Salt and Nutrient Management Plans. This GRACast will focus on the specific approaches and aspects of developing a salt and nutrient plan, both for a highly urbanized area, and for an agriculturally dominated area. Presentations will include the development of the salt and nutrient plan for the greater Los Angeles area, and for the Coachella Valley, where agricultural is the main land use. This GRACast will be an interesting look at the nuts and bolts of how you develop a salt and nutrient plan in California.
