ANALYSIS OF STREAM RUNOFF TRENDS IN THE BLUE RIDGE AND PIEDMONT OF SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES by USHA KHAREL Under the Direction of Seth Rose ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to examine the temporal trends of three monthly variables: stream runoff, rainfall and air temperature and to find out if any correlation exists between rainfall and stream runoff in the Blue Ridge and Piedmont provinces of the southeast United States. Trend significance was determined using the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test on a monthly and annual basis. GIS analysis was used to find and integrate the urban and non-urban stream gauging, rainfall and temperature stations in the study area. The Mann-Kendall test showed a statistically insignificant temporal trend for all three variables. The correlation of 0.4 was observed for runoff and rainfall, which showed that these two parameters are moderately correlated.

  • Smallies on the Little T" BASSMASTER MAGAZINE Volume 32, No.7 by Jay Kumar
    "Smallies on the Little T" BASSMASTER MAGAZINE Volume 32, No.7 by Jay Kumar North Carolina's Little Tennessee River Is an untapped hot spot for hard-fighting bronzebacks . SOMEONE SAYS "bass fishing in North Carolina" ---what comes to mind? If you're like me, you can practically taste the sweat running down your face as you probe likely looking weedbeds in lakes and tidal rivers, looking for that monster largemouth. Certainly, smallmouth fishing wouldn't even come up. For the most part, we'd be right. But western North Carolina is mountainous and cool, much like its neighbors, Virginia. West Virginia and Tennessee, all of which are prime small mouth country. Western North Carolina is no different. And tucked away in the Nantahala National Forest is a place where these fish, the "fight- ingest" of all, swim free and largely unmolested: the Little Tennessee River. In fact, almost no one fished for "little T” bronzebacks until a transplanted Arkansas restaurateur decided, after searching all over the South that this was the place he was going to establish an outfit- ting business. It's an "if you build it they will come" story: in 1991, after getting lost on his way out of the Great Smokey Mountains, Jerry Anselmo found himself paralleling the Little T on Route 28. He stopped in town and asked where he could rent a canoe. The answer? Nowhere. So he borrowed one and "just caught the heck out of smallmouths.". That day he started looking for property on the river and the rest is history.

  • Rule 391-3-6-.03. Water Use Classifications and Water Quality Standards
    Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. Rule 391-3-6-.03. Water Use Classifications and Water Quality Standards ( 1) Purpose. The establishment of water quality standards. (2) W ate r Quality Enhancement: (a) The purposes and intent of the State in establishing Water Quality Standards are to provide enhancement of water quality and prevention of pollution; to protect the public health or welfare in accordance with the public interest for drinking water supplies, conservation of fish, wildlife and other beneficial aquatic life, and agricultural, industrial, recreational, and other reasonable and necessary uses and to maintain and improve the biological integrity of the waters of the State. ( b) The following paragraphs describe the three tiers of the State's waters. (i) Tier 1 - Existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing uses shall be maintained and protected. (ii) Tier 2 - Where the quality of the waters exceed levels necessary to support propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water, that quality shall be maintained and protected unless the division finds, after full satisfaction of the intergovernmental coordination and public participation provisions of the division's continuing planning process, that allowing lower water quality is necessary to accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are located.

  • Benefits of Water Trails
    National Park Service Rivers, Trails & Conservation Assistance Program Southeast Regional Office--Atlanta Recreation Conservation Low investment Revenue generators Georgia has a variety of water resources--lakes, rivers and the coast. Each offers a different kind of opportunity for healthy outdoor activity In the U.S., participation increased 117% from 1995-2005. Water trails provide recreational opportunities for all sizes and ages- -children, adults, seniors. Water quality & quantity Wildlife Land use Canoe trails make connections between land, water, riparian edges and wildlife habitats. Canoe trails create environmental stewards. They are a constituency that understands land use & watershed issues. Upstream issues = downstream problems. And paddle groups such as Georgia Canoe Association sponsor clean-ups of rivers. The economics of the trail implementation: Inexpensive relative to other recreation projects. Not as much land to buy or structures to build. Access facilities can be minimal and inexpensive. Existing public land and facilities on rivers, lakes and the coast. Revenue generation from the canoe trail: Increased spending in the local area. Existing businesses increase profits-- restaurants, outfitters, lodging . New businesses develop to support the trail. Purchases of gear & equipment increase and support business. Festivals and events around the trail support the local community. More value from local government support. Improve local community with higher quality of life & improved tax base. Altamaha River www.altmahariver.org trail starts near the end of the Ocmulgee river and goes to Darien. City of Canton—Greenway Master Plan (2000) includes blueway. Will become part of the Etowah River Blueway. Chattahoochee Canoe Trail –Upper section (proposed)—about 40 miles from Sautee Creek to Clarks Bridge at Lake Lanier.

  • Summary of Water Quality Information for the Little Tennessee River Basin
    Chapter 3 - Summary of Water Quality Information for the Little Tennessee River Basin 3.1 General Sources of Pollution Human activities can negatively impact surface water quality, even when the Point Sources activity is far removed from the waterbody. With proper management of Piped discharges from: • wastes and land use activities, these Municipal wastewater treatment plants • impacts can be minimized. Pollutants that Industrial facilities • Small package treatment plants enter waters fall into two general • Large urban and industrial stormwater systems categories: point sources and nonpoint sources. Point sources are typically piped discharges and are controlled through regulatory programs administered by the state. All regulated point source discharges in North Carolina must apply for and obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the state. Nonpoint sources include a broad range of land Nonpoint Sources use activities. Nonpoint source pollutants are typically carried to waters by rainfall, runoff or • Construction activities snowmelt. Sediment and nutrients are most often • Roads, parking lots and rooftops associated with nonpoint source pollution. Other • Agriculture pollutants associated with nonpoint source • Failing septic systems and straight pipes pollution include fecal coliform bacteria, oil and • Timber harvesting grease, pesticides and any other substance that • Hydrologic modifications may be washed off of the ground or deposited from the atmosphere into surface waters. Unlike point sources of pollution, nonpoint pollution sources are diffuse in nature and occur intermittently, depending on rainfall events and land disturbance. Given these characteristics, it is difficult and resource intensive to quantify nonpoint contributions to water quality degradation in a given watershed. While nonpoint source pollution control often relies on voluntary actions, the state has many programs designed to reduce nonpoint source pollution.
