	USGS ACF-NAWQA: Description of the Study Area
		In the ACF River basin, soils with the highest runoff rate are present on steep slopes in the Blue Ridge, several areas in the Piedmont Province, the Fall Line Hills District, and in the lower Apalachicola River basin where soils commonly remain saturated.
		The ACF River basin is characterized by a warm and humid, temperate climate.
		The discharge of the Apalachicola River is 21st in magnitude among the rivers of the conterminous United States, and is the largest in Florida, accounting for 35 percent of freshwater flow on the western coast of Florida (Livingston, 1992).

		The ACF River basin lies partly in southwestern Georgia, southeastern Alabama, and northwestern Florida and covers 19,800 square miles in the Blue Ridge, the Piedmont, and the Coastal Plain Provinces.
		The 1990 basin population is projected to increase by 15 percent to 3.0 million by the year 2000, and by 30 percent to 3.4 million by 2010.
		In 1972-76, approximately 59 percent of the basin was covered by forest, 29 percent was agricultural, 5 percent was wetland, 4 percent was urban, and 3 percent was water or barren land.

	ACF River Basin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ACF River Basin refers to the watershed of the Apalachicola/Chattahoochee/Flint River Basin, in the USA, which begins in northern Georgia and flows into the Gulf of Mexico at Apalachicola Bay, near Apalachicola, Florida.
		Both states, as well as Alabama, have been involved in a water-use dispute for several years, mainly over the ever-increasing amount of water taken for metro Atlanta's suburban sprawl of lawns, pavement, sewage, and other pollution.
		Keeping the two rivers at a navigable depth during these times requires large releases from dams upstream, sending potential drinking water dowstream for shipping, and often dropping lakes to levels dangerous to boaters.

	USGS ACF-NAWQA PUBLICATIONS
		The population in the ACF River basin has increased 37 percent between 1970 and 1990, and 92 percent of this increase was in Georgia, predominantly in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
		Population in the basin is projected to increase by 15 percent to 3.0 million by the year 2000, and by 30 percent to 3.4 million by 2010.
		Approximately 64 percent of the basin was forested in 1987; the forests consist chiefly of second-growth hardwoods and large acreages of planted pine.

	Apalachicola River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Apalachicola River is a river, approximately 112 mi (180 km) long in the U.S. state Florida.
		The river's large watershed, known as the ACF River Basin for short, drains an area of approximately 19,500 sq mi (50,505 km²) into the Gulf of Mexico.
		The lower 30 mi (48 km) of the river is surrounded by extensive swamps and wetlands except at the coast.

		Most of the larger tributaries in the ACF River Basin are located in the lower reaches of the Flint River Basin.
		Thirteen of 16 mainstem dams in the ACF River basin are along on the Chattahoochee River.
		Unlike the Flint, the highest impairment of surface waters in the Chattahoochee River occurs in the upper and middle reaches of the river, which is flowing through the city of Atlanta.

		This report describes land use and pesticide use at a county level, and the occurrence and distribution of pesticides in the water resources of the ACF River basin on the basis of previously-collected data.
		About 33 percent of the ACF River basin is used for agriculture, 16 percent is used for silviculture, and about 5 percent of the basin is in urban and suburban settings; primarily the Columbus, Albany, and Atlanta Metropolitan areas.
		The geographic patterns in the occurrence and distribution of pesticides in the ACF River basin (as defined by data collected during 1960-91) are, as expected, somewhat defined by land-use patterns.

	Sustainable Waters Program - Apalachicola River, Florida
		The waters of the upper ACF basin also supply one of the fastest-growing regions of the nation with drinking water, wastewater assimilation, hydropower, irrigation, navigation and other services critical to economic development.
		The Apalachicola River is surrounded by Florida's largest floodplain, and it is estimated that the discharge from the river into the Gulf of Mexico accounts for 35 percent of the total freshwater contribution from the west coast of Florida.
		Plant Species: Along the river are two of the world's rarest evergreens, Florida torreya and Florida yew; ashe magnolia; pyramid magnolia; and an array of rare and endemic wildflowers and grasses including Apalachicola rosemary, toothed basil, false foxglove, Florida anise, and mountain laurel.
