Abstract
Watershed based initiatives are often proposed
for water supply watershed protection or for growing areas
in order to plan growth in ways that minimize impacts on
water quality. However urban watersheds, once considered
a lost cause, are receiving increasing attention as an
opportunity to significantly improve water quality and the
viability of our streams and rivers.
The City of Atlanta recently began an Urban Watershed
Initiative to critically assess its watersheds and streams, and
to develop watershed management plans to guide
improvements. The Initiative is being directed by a Steering
Committee and several Technical Committees in order to
address the myriad of activities affecting an urban
watershed.
