𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐔𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐒𝐨 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐝?? 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐨!

from Dr. C. Rhett Jackson, Professor of Water Resources, University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Georgia

Dr. Jackson delves into how human use of land influences the structure of freshwater ecosystems on which our way of life depends. In depth academic research of mountain streams of rural Southern Appalachian Mountains suggests how homeowners and developers can preserve water quality by adopting best management practice (BMPs) to reduce non point source pollution, erosion and flooding. Questions welcomed.
