Welcome

New name new project!  The Prairie Coteau Watershed Project is a combination of the former Northeast Glacial Lakes and Upper Big Sioux River Watershed Projects. The new project will continue to protect and improve the water quality of northeast South Dakota lakes,  reservoirs, streams and rivers.  This web site will provide information to agricultural landowners and producers on cost share programs available to implement best management practices designed to improve water quality, livestock and cropland production plus a wealth of information useful for lakeshore property owners, recreational users and the general public.
