    • Development of an Urban Waterbody Education Plan For Georgia 

      Nichols, David B. (Georgia Institute of TechnologyCarl Vinson Institute of Government, 1995-04)
      This paper describes the development of an education plan for instructing the populace of Georgia concerning the sources and effects of nonpoint pollutants upon urban streams of the state. Completed in early 1994, the ...

    • Downstream Hydrographic Effects of Urban Stormwater Detention and Infiltration 

      Ferguson, Bruce K. (Georgia Institute of TechnologyCarl Vinson Institute of Government, 1995-04)
      Urban stormwater hydrographs with various degrees of detention and infiltration were routed through 30 hypothetical drainage networks. Only infiltration reduced flow volume. Infiltration shortened flow duration while ...

    • Ebenezer Creek: A Watershed Protection Demonstration Project 

      Ambrose, Jonathan P.; Canalos, Chris G.; Crow, Susan R.; Scott, Robert A. (Georgia Institute of TechnologyCarl Vinson Institute of Government, 1995-04)
      Progress on an EPA-funded watershed protection demonstration project for Ebenezer Creek in Southeast Georgia is reported. Problems with eutrophication of this ecologically significant stream have been observed in recent ...

    • Economic and Planning Issues Relevant for the Management of Inter­state Water Resources 

      Cummings, Ronald G. (Georgia Institute of TechnologyCarl Vinson Institute of Government, 1995-04)
      Prices can be used as an effective tool for providing incentives for efficient water use. Under ideal conditions prices will reflect the true scarcity of water in a region and can then provide extraordinarily valuable ...

      McLemore, Donna L.; Keeler, Andrew G. (Georgia Institute of TechnologyCarl Vinson Institute of Government, 1995-04)
      Ecologists and biologists have long recommended the use of biological criteria in assessing water quality and environmental risk because of the additional information supplied by biological data that cannot be provided ...
