Mahaska County seeks improvements to its current water trails system to increase accessibility, use, and safety. As part of their Senior Capstone in Civil and Environmental Engineering, a team of students will evaluate and design for boat launches, parking areas, camping sites, road access, and supporting structures. All documents will be prepared to assist with the preparation of application to the Iowa DNR's Iowa Water Trails grant program. 

As part of their Senior Design Capstone course, students in Civil and Environmental Engineering will provide an evaluation and design of improvements to the White Oaks Nature Conservation area.
