Outcome: Initial Outcome
Most water bodies in KY are considered impaired in one form or another and that land use, urban or agriculture, can have negative or positive impacts upon water quality. Demonstrations, field trips and group activities were used to show the additive effect of runoff on streams and rivers and how best management practices can help improve our State's water quality. Many youth groups were targeted, these included 4-H clubs, elementary schools,4-H Teen Council members, college students at UK, and Asbury as well as visiting French Ag students. All had a better understanding of water quality, best management practices and community efforts to help keep our waterways clean. Many positive group discussions were had about land use, particularly agricultural practices. Some students were interested in volunteering as water samplers in the KY Watershed Watch program.
