(Bismarck, ND) -- A pilot program may help improve the quality of North Dakota's water.
The Department of Environmental Quality is partnering with a private Fargo organization to pay landowners who demonstrate results in water conservation, regardless of how the results are achieved.
A representative with the International Water Institute says a government program that pays farmers to implement certain conservation practices is flawed.
Officials with the Institute say the effort is a way to cut back on bureaucratic red tape and requirements.
