UF/IFAS launches survey to enhance conservation efforts
The University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) recently released a Landscape Water Use Survey, which is aimed at homeowners and land managers statewide.
The responses will help scientists understand how much the average resident irrigates the landscape and how people learn how to conserve water.
“We are hoping to collect data from participants statewide to help us find additional ways to reduce water pollution and further promote water conservation,” UF/IFAS Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center Associate Director Kimberly Moore said. “With the help of survey participants, who will remain anonymous, we will use this information to develop online training videos and continue to make improvements in water conservation messaging and programs for the public at the state and local levels.”
The 30-question survey gives participants the opportunity to share where they stand on various water conservation issues, including their perception of their water bill, how often and when they irrigate their lawn, whether and what type of technology is incorporated into water usage and more.
The survey will be available until June 1.
