Land and water—how we use and conserve these two life essentials in our homes, communities, businesses and industries affects countless others. And the actions of the communities that we affect are passed on to still others. In a sense, we all live downstream. 
Soil and water conservation is an ongoing process. Purdue University researchers are working to identify new pollutants in our waterways and determine their effect on people and wildlife. Purdue Extension educational programs link land-use and watershed planning at the local level.
This special edition of Agricultures focuses on our interdisciplinary research and educational programs that address many of our state and nation’s most pressing land use and water-quality issues. While we have devoted the entire issue to this topic, it only skims the surface of what we are doing. To learn more, we encourage you to see visit the Purdue Land Use Team and Water Quality Program Web sites, the gateways to our expansive resources on the indispensable resources of land and water.
