Water and Drought
Water and the many issues and concerns that surround it continue to swirl in political, agricultural and economic circles. When drought conditions hit, the value of water becomes even more urgently evident.
The UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences looks at the many prisms of water in all of its programs of teaching, research and Cooperative Extension. Scientists measure it, predict it, protect it and study it. County Extension agents educate farmers, homeowners, 4-H'ers, community leaders and businesses through workshops, activities and projects. Professors put students to work learning all they can about this irreplaceable resource.
