Abstract
Water quality in much of Georgia is
threatened by nonpoint source pollution due to urban
development and increased stormwater runoff. Recent
watershed modeling for seven watersheds in Henry
County, Georgia has projected increases in nutrient
loads caused by nonpoint sources. The GWLF model
was used to explore management strategies that may
mitigate these increases.
Projected increases in TN and TP loads from
nonpoint sources in Henry County’s jurisdictional areas
are expected to increase by 48% and 3%, respectively,
over the next 20 years. Two out of four management
options considered were capable of reducing future TP
loads to existing levels, but none were predicted to
reduce TN to existing levels.
