The Atlanta Regional Commission's Urban Stream Demonstration Program

Proceedings of the 1989 Georgia Water Resources Conference, May 16-17, 1989, Athens, Georgia.During the years 1986, 1987, and 1988, the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) has taken part in five urban stream monitoring projects, together with five local governments: Cobb County, DeKalb County, and the cities of Atlanta, Chamblee, and Marietta. The objectives of each project were: (1) to walk and sample a stream section and its adjacent area in order to identify apparent pollution sources; (2) to institute corrective actions to eliminate the problems; (3) to assess the water quality of each stream; and (4) to use the information to help other governments develop stream monitoring programs.Sponsored by U.S. Geological Survey, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the University of Georgia, Georgia State University, and Georgia Institute of Technology.This book was published by the Institute of Natural Resources, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 with partial funding provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Geological Survey, through the Georgia Water Research Institute as authorized by the Water Resources Research Act of 1984 (P.L. 98242).
