Upper Apalachicola-Chattahoochee
Georgia: Upper Apalachicola- Case Study Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin Water Resource Strategies and Information Needs in Response to Extreme Weather/Climate Events ACF Basin The Story in Brief Communities in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin (ACF) in Georgia, including Gwinnett County and the city of Atlanta, faced four consecutive extreme weather events: drought of 2007-08, floods of Sep- tember and winter 2009, and drought of 2011-12. These events cost taxpayers millions of dollars in damaged infrastructure, homes, and businesses and threatened water supply for ecological, agricultural, energy, and urban water users. Water utilities were faced with ensuring reliable service during and after these events. Drought of 2007-2008 and 2012 Impacts Northern Georgia saw record-low precipitation in 2007. By late spring 2008, Lake Lanier, the state’s major water supply, was at 50% of its storage capacity. The drought, combined with record-high temperatures, caused an estimated $1.3 billion in economic losses and threatened local water utilities’ ability to meet demand for four million people. Similar drought conditions unfolded in 2011-2012, during which numerous Water Trends Georgia counties were declared disaster zones.

Trophic State and Metabolism in a Southeastern Piedmont Reservoir
TROPHIC STATE AND METABOLISM IN A SOUTHEASTERN PIEDMONT RESERVOIR by Mary Callie Mayhew (Under the direction of Todd C. Rasmussen) Abstract Lake Sidney Lanier is a valuable water resource in the rapidly developing region north of Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The reservoir has been managed by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers for multiple purposes since its completion in 1958. Since approximately 1990, Lake Lanier has been central to series of lawsuits in the “Eastern Water Wars” between Georgia, Alabama and Florida due to its importance as a water-storage facility within the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin. Of specific importance is the need to protect lake water quality to satisfy regional water supply demands, as well as for recreational and environmental purposes. Recently, chlorophyll a levels have exceeded state water-quality standards. These excee- dences have prompted the Georgia Environmental Protection Division to develop Total Max- imum Daily Loads for phosphorus in Lake Lanier. While eutrophication in Southeastern Piedmont impoundments is a regional problem, nutrient cycling in these lakes does not appear to behave in a manner consistent with lakes in higher latitudes, and, hence, may not respond to nutrient-abatement strategies developed elsewhere. Although phosphorus loading to Southeastern Piedmont waterbodies is high, soluble reac- tive phosphorus concentrations are generally low and phosphorus exports from the reservoir are only a small fraction of input loads. The prevailing hypothesis is that ferric oxides in the iron-rich, clay soils of the Southeastern Piedmont effectively sequester phosphorus, which then settle into the lake benthos. Yet, seasonal algal blooms suggest the presence of internal cycling driven by uncertain mechanisms. -

The Southern Sociologist
The Southern Sociologist Volume 41 Number 2 Fall 2009 SSS President’s Message Mark October 15, 2009, on your calendars! That is the deadline for online submissions of papers and suggested sessions for the 2010 Southern Sociological Society Meetings to be held at the Hyatt Hotel in Atlanta, April 21-25. You will receive email announcements and reminders that submissions are open. Planning is underway with Program Co-Chairs John Reynolds (Florida State University) and Don Reitzes (Georgia State University). The Conference theme is “Worlds at Risk at the Turn of the Millennium.” As my message in the summer The Southern Sociologist argued, “risk” is a pervasive sociological phenomenon that has structural as well as random elements. Most of us study aspects of risk across lives and social contexts. Hence, papers that span topics from environmental studies, to race-class-gender dy- namics, health and mortality, public policy and cross-national differences in values and social structures fit with this theme. Please gather your thoughts and plan to participate next April. We have gotten commitments from two great plenary speakers so far: Evelyn Nakano Glenn, President of the American Sociological Association and Professor of Sociology at the University of California at Berkeley and George Ritzer, our colleague from the University of Maryland who is going to share his analysis of aspects of the global financial crisis we are all experiencing in (Continued on page 2) Contents 2009 Call for Papers..........................2 50 Fun Things to do in Atlanta................5 2009 SSS Awards..............................13 The Teaching Corner..........................19 Opportunities................................26 Job Opportunities ...........................27 Southern Sociological Society................29 The Southern Sociologist Page 2 Fall 2009 SSS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (Continued from page 1) diverse ways. -

Effects of Internal Loading on Algal Biomass in Lake Allatoona, a Southeastern Piedmont Impoundment
EFFECTS OF INTERNAL LOADING ON ALGAL BIOMASS IN LAKE ALLATOONA, A SOUTHEASTERN PIEDMONT IMPOUNDMENT by Elena Louise Ceballos (Under the direction of Todd C. Rasmussen) Abstract Cultural eutrophication of lakes is the accelerated nutrient enrichment resulting in detri- mental ecological effects such as algal blooms, lake anoxia and toxic metal release from sediments. Cultural eutrophication is a common occurrence in Piedmont impoundments in Georgia, as well as lakes and impoundments throughout the world. It often results in water unsafe for agricultural use, recreation and drinking. To reduce the cultural eutrophication of local Piedmont impoundments, recent regulatory controls for nutrients were established as part of the Clean Lakes program and court-ordered total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). These regulatory efforts focus on the reduction and minimization of point-source watershed nutrient inputs, primarily phosphorus, into lake sys- tems, as P is the limiting nutrient in Piedmont impoundments. Thus, reductions in phos- phorus loading are expected to improve lake water quality. However, in the Piedmont, as well as worldwide, many lakes continue to experience algal blooms and lake anoxia after sources of external loading are discontinued. The process of nutrient desorption from sediments, known as internal loading, has been identified to be a source of algal-available P, as well as other nutrients. The conditions under which internal loading takes place are region-specific as they vary based on local physical, chemical and biological conditions. The purpose of our research was to quantify changes in algal biomass in response to internal loading in Southeast Piedmont impoundments. The results from a mesocosm exper- iment, physical and chemical sediment analysis, and algal assays were used to characterize algal-availabile phosphorus in Southeastern Piedmont impoundments. -
