The landscape of Kentucky's upper Salt River Watershed has changed in recent years. Where once there were traditional dairy and tobacco farms, there are now more intensive cattle operations, "farmettes," and subdivisions. This changing land use in the watershed affects one of our most valuable natural resources: water. Modified patterns in land use, such as higher densities of grazing animals or new housing developments, can, through the years, incrementally affect water quality. Many people are not even aware of how long-term actions, in addition to everyday activities, can affect this valuable resource.
Now is your chance to learn! The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Kentucky Division of Conservation, is hosting a water-quality field day on Saturday, April 24, 2004, at the Central Kentucky Technical College in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The field day will begin at the College with a keynote speaker and a few presentations. From there participants will visit field sites in Anderson, Spencer, and Shelby Counties, returning to the College by 3:00 pm.
Field-day attendees will have the opportunity to -
