In this episode of the Water Table Podcast, Jamie sits down with Alex Buseman, a graduate assistant at Iowa State University who is currently working on three research projects dealing with water quality in agriculture. Does the type of wood in a bioreactor matter? How does the only dual-chamber bioreactor in the world function?  What is the Forest to Farm program? How long do bioreactors last? Listen and learn how the next generation is carrying the research torch to ensure farmers can implement cutting-edge water management practices.Chapters & Episode Topics:00:00   Today on the Water Table Podcast00:20   Welcome Alex Buseman01:00   Why water quality?03:15   What does the next generation think?04:00   The only dual-chamber bioreactor in the world…07:25   Forest to Farm12:30   Decades old bioreactors – do they last?14:30   Doing all of the testing16:15   Site 1 – Story County, Iowa18:57   Site 2 – Dyersville, Iowa23:15   Site 3 – Washington, Iowa25:20   Encouraging landowners going forward30:20   Carrying the torchRelated Content: Forest to Farm: Using Woodchips from Crowded Forests in Sustainable Water Quality Practices Dual-Chamber Bioreactor: Evaluation of Nitrate Removal Dynamics and Unintended ByproductsFind us on social media! Facebook Twitter InstagramListen on these Podcast Platforms :Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Visit our website to explore more episodes & water management education
