Pollution control and ground water protection is a main focus of the work of the Knox Soil & Water Conservation District. Helping landowners learn how to keep sediment, nutrients and chemicals out of both surface and ground water, the District works with farmers and others to explain how our activities can affect our natural resources.

Conservation Planning Assistance, for example, point out the affects of different tillage programs and crop rotations and how these methods reduce soil erosion. The District's Manure Nutrient Management Program helps farmers better manage animal waste as an important resource, by lowering inputs and increasing profitability. Soils Information & Interpretation through the Knox County Soil Survey are also offered. Conservation Farm Plans and Revisions, Engineering Plans, Inventory and Evaluation, Urban Land Use Planning and Site Selection are also a few examples of planning assistance.
Survey and Design Assistance is also available through the District for a number of conservation related projects free of charge.
