University of Kentucky Surveys Water Resources
Kentucky Ag Connection - 05/21/2019

Two University of Kentucky faculty members are conducting a statewide survey for a research study on Kentuckians' values, attitudes and knowledge about water resources in the commonwealth.

Funded by the Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute, the end goal of the project is to develop training materials for professionals who work with the public on water issues. Carmen Agouridis, extension professor in the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, said that even more importantly, the study is ultimately about protecting the state's water.

"Sometimes how valuable our water resources are gets lost in the fact that we have so much water in this state," she said. "We use it for recreation, for drinking, for irrigation. The list goes on. Basically water touches every aspect of our lives every day, so we're trying to find ways to best protect and utilize Kentucky's water resources."

Survey respondents must be older than 18 and reside in Kentucky. The survey is available online at uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7ONDnvGzwT2RYMt or in hard copy at a local county Cooperative Extension office.
