Monitoring Kentucky’s Water Resources with Drone Imaging and Unmanned Surface Vehicles
Wesley Turner, an Environmental Scientist Advisor with the GIS and Data Analysis Section of the Watershed Management Branch in the Kentucky Division of Water , spends his days researching current technology and developing various drone programs for the Division of Water. Having grown up during Love Canal and Valley of the Drums, Turner decided at a young age that he wanted to become a scientist and spend his life trying to right humanity’s wrongs and protect the environment. “I loved looking at the plants and animals on the farm where I lived. I wondered at the beauty and mystery of the soil and water in the surrounding fields. As I grew older, I learned of the problems our species caused on the planet […] I remember thinking things had to change,” recalls Turner.

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question. [caption id="attachment_38996" align="alignnone" width="940"] HRWC volunteers measure stream velocity across a subsection of Woods Creek, a tributary of the Huron River near Belleville, Michigan. Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.
