Kentucky Watershed Watch is currently led by a statewide board and a coordinator. The Kentucky Division of Water supports the Volunteer Coordinator.
The Watershed Watch Board members meet regularly to provide guidance and assist with organizational activities as needed. If you are interested in serving on the board or one of its working committees, you are encouraged to contact a Coordinator or the Board Chair (see email addresses above).
In 2024, KYWW will begin creating Support Hubs across Kentucky to help provide more localized support for Sampling Teams. These Hubs will assist the organization by hosting and loaning out water sampling equipment and supplies and providing meeting space. In some cases, Hub representatives will also be able to provide guidance for sampling locations, feedback on sampling results, and assistance with community water projects.
And, most importantly, KYWW Samplers are the people who collect the monitoring data from streams, enter their results, and discuss findings with their Sampling Teams. Where there is interest, they are also encouraged to pursue water quality improvement initiatives.
