Following are brief descriptions of particular projects and programs. The reader is referred to the indicated person for details, results, or plans for the activities. Many programs are multidisciplinary and involve many personnel. Only one or two names are listed as a starting contact. As mentioned above, the activities are associated with current efforts. This listing is not alphabetical, and is not in any priority order.

Courses/Education Programs

• Natural Resources Engineering, ENGR 3410. Tollner, E. W. Current Course investigates engineering applications for soil and water resource management.
• Water Resources Curriculum & Degree Program. Rasmussen, T., et al. This New Program is anticipated to be an add on at the undergraduate level to provide more experience in water resources.
• Maymester field course on the Hydrology, Geology and Soils of Georgia. Rasmussen, T., et al. This New Program is anticipated to be an undergraduate/graduate field experience for students to better understand Georgia characteristics.
• Development of the “Georgia Water Series”, a web site that provides analysis and information on water issues in Georgia. Jordan, J. L.
• Water quality education programs. Walter, J.
• Water conservation education programs. Marsh, J.
• AAE 4600/6800, “Water Resource Economics.” Jordan, J. L. This course studies the economic aspects of the use, supply, development and management of water resources with emphasis on basin-wide management, benefit-cost analysis, willingness-to-pay, demand analysis, and water conflict resolution.
• Aquatic entomology (Entomology 6940), and stream ecology (Ecology 8220). Wallace, B. Entomology 6940 (graduate only) is designed to introduce students to the taxonomy, biology, and ecological role of aquatic insects, as well as introduce concepts of biological assessment in streams. Stream ecology (Ecology 8220, B. Wallace and J. Meyer) covers recent literature in basic and applied aspects of stream ecology. Graduate students read and discuss papers published in the area during the past year.
• Wetland Ecology (Ecology/ Entomology 8150). Batzer, D., et al.
• Landscape and Turf Irrigation (ENGR 3070). Thomas, D. L., et al.
• Development of the guide for a water-wise landscape - Xeriscaping. Wade, G. L.
• Wetlands and water quality issues (AAEC/EHSC 4250). Centner, T. J.
• Wetlands, erosion control, and water law (AAEC 4930/6930). Centner, T. J.
• Training programs on agricultural water issues, irrigation system applications and management, and irrigation scheduling. Tyson, A. W. and K. A. Harrison, et al. Current Activities include best practices as applied to irrigation systems typical in Georgia.
• Educational activities focused on water quality/quantity issues for turfgrass systems include a 2 day workshop sponsored by the Golf Course Superintendent Assoc. of America on “Salt-Affected Turfgrass Sites: Assessment and Management”; a textbook by the same title; and a book on “Seashore Paspalum: An Environmental Grass” (fall, 1999) which emphasizes its use on sites with poor water quality . Duncan R. R. and R. N. Carrow.
• Aquatic Entomology and the Role of Invertebrates in Calculating Stream Health. Macie, J. L. Program presented to Adopt-A-Stream participants.
