University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service Liaison

The liaison, working through the University of Kentucky, will integrate the Kentucky Agriculture Water Quality Act (KAWQA) and nonpoint source pollution (NPS) information into all aspects of agriculture education and technical assistance programs by assembling and disseminating information on Kentucky agriculture water quality, networking among agencies and partners, and producing educational and informational materials. The lead agency is the UK-CES and the primary partners are the KY Division of Conservation (DOC), KY Division of Water, KY Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the KY Ag Water Quality Authority. The liaison position will be positioned to accurately reflect the evolvement and development of water quality related programs to the UK-CES, DOC and the Authority. The incorporation of these identified water quality programs and related environmental concerns by the UK-CES, DOC, and the Authority will result in a positive impact on the quality of water throughout Kentucky.
