Outreach focuses on waste reduction and by-product recovery throughout businesses in Georgia. Both enhance Georgia's communities, businesses, and industries.

Other Public Service Divisions

State Climatology Office. (http://climate.engr.uga.edu/) The State Climatology Office archives the state's weather and climate records, supplies climate information to the public, governmental agencies, and the media, and performs applied research concerning weather and climate impacts on Georgia.

Watershed Assessment Team. (http://watershed.bae.uga.edu/) The Watershed Assessment Team collaborates with the engineering consulting firm, Carter & Sloope, Inc. to provide technically sound and economically feasible watershed assessments for municipalities in the State of Georgia.  The Watershed Assessment Team gathers water quality, stream habitat, soils, land use and climate data to predict the effects on streams due to development using computer models.  The Team then uses knowledge of best management practices and the suggestions of the stakeholders for the watershed in question to come up with management scenarios that will maintain and improve the watershed.
