Protecting Florida’s Water Resources Through Extension
Welcome to the UF/IFAS Extension Water Resources Program
Florida is home to an abundance of water resources, including thousands of lakes, rivers, streams, and the iconic Everglades. These waterways are vital for supporting a rich diversity of plant and animal life, such as manatees and alligators. Additionally, Florida's water resources are crucial for human activities, providing drinking water, agricultural irrigation, recreational opportunities, and supporting the state's economy. However, with a growing population and increasing demands on these resources, it is essential to prioritize water conservation and protection. Ensuring the sustainability of Florida's water supply is critical for maintaining the health of the environment, the well-being of its residents, and the overall prosperity of the state. This page includes the educational efforts that we can work on together to protect our water resources.
