Institute for Water and Health

We are drawn to it like a magnet, the peaceful sound, and tranquility of water. ❤️

Week 1 of the Liberty County Water Stewards Certification Program is in the books, and what a fantastic start!

Organized by the Institute for Water and Health at Georgia Southern University's Water Academy, the first session brought together an engaged group of community members eager to learn about how water moves through Liberty County's coastal landscape and how our everyday actions impact local waterways.

From interactive watershed activities to lively discussions about flooding, wetlands, groundwater, and coastal ecosystems, participants gained practical knowledge about the connections between their homes, neighborhoods, and our shared water resources.

The energy, thoughtful questions, and active participation made for an outstanding kickoff, and we're excited to continue building a community of informed water stewards dedicated to protecting Liberty County's natural resources.

A sincere thank you to the Liberty County Development Authority for sponsoring this important community initiative and investing in environmental stewardship, education, and the future of Liberty County.

We're looking forward to Session 2 on August 15, where we'll explore Coastal Water Quality and Human Health and examine why clean water matters for our ecosystems, recreation, seafood, drinking water, and public health.

Together, we're building knowledge, strengthening community connections, and creating a more resilient future; one water steward at a time. Safe Water. Together.

For water to flow freely, we all have a role to play. Be a good water steward and help keep our waterways clean today for a healthier tomorrow. 💧🌎
