Online Survey Seeks Opinions on Sewanee Water

As part of the ongoing constructed wetlands research collaborative between the University of the South, the University of Georgia and Sewanee Utility District, Sewanee residents are invited to take an online survey about water awareness. 
The survey has a new, shortened URL: <www.tinyurl.com/z3dpllw> and will be open until Monday, Jan. 25.
The intent of this survey, according to Sewanee biologist Deborah McGrath, is to help the collaborators better understand what our community knows about water issues, and how we can do a better job of communicating and involving the public in local water issues. The constructed wetland research is aimed at understanding the effectiveness of wetland processes in removing contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals. 

As part of the research project, McGrath said that the project will have focus groups with citizens some time during the spring.
