Abstract
Georgia has been gripped by drought for
much of 2007 and 2008. UGA Cooperative Extension selected
water conservation as a statewide priority in 2007
and developed educational materials for programming
through county extension efforts. The project included
components dealing with outdoor water use in conjunction
with the Georgia DNR's WaterSmart program, with indoor
water use in conjunction with the College of Family and
Consumer Sciences, and a youth component in conjunction
with the Georgia 4-H program. This presentation will
include an overview of the materials developed as well as
a discussion of some of the outputs and evaluations that
have been conducted.
