Lower Minnesota River Model

The Metropolitan Council is leading a cooperative effort to develop a water-quality model of the lower 40 miles of the Minnesota River. Five agencies have joined the Council as sponsors, and many local partners are involved. The goal is to build an assessment tool for water quality in the Metro-Area reach of the Minnesota River. The six-year schedule started in 2003 and ends in 2008. For more detailed project information, please see Project Overview.
