The Water Quality team at the University of Maine Cooperative Extension
(UMCE) provides information to the public on protecting Maine's water

Through applied research we provide growers with information on efficient
nutrient and weed management practices.

is to pool the financial, professional and academic resources of the region
and to use them to research and develop improved methods of dealing with
common problems in the planning, design, construction, maintenance, rehabilitation,
reconstruction and operation of transportation systems in the participating
states. The program is intended to supplement, not to replace, ongoing
state and federal research activities and other national programs such
as NCHRP.
