Water Resources with Becky Davis

February 2, 2021

Becky Davis began as the Savannah Valley District Water Resources Agent in January 2020. Although most of her extension career has been during the pandemic, she has been involved in statewide programs dealing with water-related issues and answering stakeholders’ calls. One program she has assisted with is a webinar course on home well maintenance called “Be Well Informed”. This program provided participants with an overview of home well maintenance best practices, well water quality considerations, and a question and answer session. In the future, “Be Well Informed” will be an in-person lecture and well water screening program presented throughout the state. Becky has also presented to a group of Master Gardeners. Additionally, she assisted in an agricultural water use questionnaire of irrigators in counties with the state’s greatest irrigated water use. This survey included Edgefield County farmers.

Before joining Clemson Extension, Becky has over 30 years of experience as an agricultural technician at the Edisto Research and Education Center in Blackville. While at Edisto REC, she conducted beef cattle grazing trials of winter forages and worked with the irrigation specialist on projects involving irrigation scheduling, sub-surface drip irrigation and crop water use. Her interests are in management practices relating to soil and water conservation. Becky’s home office is in Bamberg County, and she can be reached by email rwllms@clemson.edu or by phone 803-245-7114.
