Speaker: Larry Weber Director, IIHR-Hydroscience & Engineering, University of Iowa Co-founder, Iowa Flood Center

Iowa’s real-time nitrate water sensor network is in danger of losing funding on June 30, 2026. But Iowa State Legislators have the power to restore its funding this session.

Larry Weber, Director of the IIHR-Hydroscience and Engineering and the creator of the water quality sensor network, will share why the network is important for Iowa, especially small municipalities in rural counties.

He’ll explain why losing the system would come at a great cost to all Iowans including farmers, state agencies, and all those who must make informed decisions about water quality and conservation practices. And most especially, all those who expect and rely on safe drinking water.
