	Watersheds of Indiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Watersheds of Indiana consist of six distinct Indiana watershed regions that drain in to five major bodies of water.
		Of the other watersheds, the blue areas drain into Lake Michigan, the yellow area drains into the Illinois River, the pink area drains in to the Maumee River, the gray area drains into the Ohio river.
		The smallest watershed in the state is the Maumee River watershed in the northeast part of the state on the border with Ohio.

	Indiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Indiana is bounded on the north by Lake Michigan and the state of Michigan; on the east by Ohio; on the south by Kentucky, with which it shares the Ohio River as a border; and on the west by Illinois.
		Indiana is home to a sizeable and influential proportion of Mennonite and Amish Christians, particularly in Elkhart and LaGrange Counties in the north, and a smaller number in Parke County in the west.
		Indiana is located within the Corn Belt, and the state's agricultural methods and principal farm outputs reflect this: a feedlot-style system raising corn to fatten hogs and cattle.

		Indiana, meaning the "Land of the Indians," is a state of the United States of America.
		Indiana is located well within the Corn Belt, and the state's agricultural methods and principal farm outputs reflect this: a feedlot-style system raising corn, to fatten hogs and cattle.
		Indiana was formerly home to two major military installations, Grissom Air Force Base near Peru (reduced to reservist operations in 1994) and Fort Benjamin Harrison near Indianapolis, now largely reduced to reservist operations, though the Department of Defense continues to operate a large financial operation there.

	Ag Answers: Atrazine runoff jeopardizing its use by farmers
		Indiana community water systems in the atrazine monitoring program include Batesville, Bedford, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis (Eagle Creek), Jasper, Logansport, Santee Utilities, Stucker Fork, Versailles, Westport and Winslow.
		Millions of pounds of atrazine are applied annually to corn and sorghum in Indiana to control a wide range of broadleaf and grassy weeds, Johnson said.
		In turn, farmers within affected watershed areas must implement strategies for reducing -- or mitigating -- atrazine in surface water or face losing the herbicide as a weed control option.

		A watershed is the area of land where all of the water flows across or through the ground; that area that drains to a common waterway, such as a stream, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, or even the ocean – and our individual actions can directly affect it.
		It is important to remember that watersheds refer to surface water only, groundwater, which is the source of much of our drinking water, is influenced by surface water but occurs in underground aquifers, not watersheds.
		A watershed plan is a plan of action and protection of the watershed created by Stakeholders to improve the quality of life for people in the watershed (Stakeholders) by helping ensure clean water and healthy natural resources.

		It is important for Indiana because we have not put a lot of money into watershed sciences, and watershed scale is the key water management structure for the future," he says.
		The impact from studying the watersheds would be felt across the state as researchers begin to understand the best methods to manage watershed resources while meeting environmental regulations, says Turco.
		In the future, Turco says he would like to have four to six outdoor watershed locations across the state to capture different weather patterns and their affects on water quality.

		A watershed, also known as a drainage basin, is the area of land that drains into a body of water.
		The map below shows the major watersheds in Indiana, typically named after the primary lake or stream that drains them.
		Consequently, the quality and quantity of the water in the White River is heavily influenced by what happens upstream in cities like Anderson, Muncie, Carmel, and Fishers, as well as on the farms surrounding these cities.

		Sampling of water running through the St. Joseph River watershed in northeast Indiana is showing glyphosate herbicide contamination to be minimal, according to ARS studies.
		Because many farmers in the St. Joseph River watershed region must rely on drainage pipes and ditches to get their fields dry enough to plant, ARS supports a project focused on measuring -- and curbing -- runoff pollution from these drainage systems.
		Scientists involved with this watershed project are looking at a variety of drainage improvements, such as maintaining an even water table, adding alum or gypsum to reduce contaminant levels in runoff, and filtering standing water.
