In response to the opportunity for increased public awareness and education to help the Tampa Bay region deal with the effects of a three year drought and increased demands on water supplies, the Hillsborough County Water Department implemented a program known as the Senior Water Resource Training program (SWRT). The overall goal of the Hillsborough County SWRT program was to recruit, train, and sustain a group of senior citizens to be water resource educators for their communities, thereby using an experienced and influential segment of society to engage with their peers and the public about important water resource issues. The first offering of SWRT in Hillsborough County consisted of eight half-day sessions offered over four consecutive weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. An important partner in the program was a local retirement complex, which offered meeting space as well as transportation for the field trips, which were open to all residents of the complex. The paper discusses weekly assignments, guest speakers, field trips, a program evaluation, focus group research, and sample questions from an attitude survey. Includes table.
