	Nature, Catawba River, headwaters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Although the entire length of the Catawba was probably under crop farming or timbering at one time in the past 200 years, its bottomland hardwoods have made a remarkable comeback until today there is a reforested riparian corridor with great value to wildlife and people.
		River bottoms, because of their relative inaccessibility to humans, often have been the last Piedmont areas to undergo wholesale development and, as such, are the only remaining habitats for many plants and animals.
		Therefore, any plan for development along the Catawba River must take into consideration the need to protect, preserve, and enhance significant portions of the bottomland corridor for now and for the future--and that means that riverside buffers must be more than the paltry 50 feet that is proposed by far too many interest groups.

	Catawba River 13th Most Endangered River in Nation — Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation
		The river has limited assimilative capacity, meaning its ability to accept increasing waste discharges while providing safe drinking water and recreation is finite.
		Growing wastewater discharges and drinking water withdrawals by the 14 counties, 22 municipalities and 2 states that depend on the Catawba River are already leading to heightened competition for theriver’s resources.
		Without a management system to equitably allocate competing demands on the river, the Catawba is ripe for the Southeast’s next “water war.” Similar demands caused by Atlanta’s population growth led to the tri-state water wars between Florida, Alabama and Georgia.

	Simulation of Temperature....Catawba River, SC
		Time-series plots of dissolved-oxygen concentrations were determined for various simulated hydrologic and point-source loading conditions along a free-flowing section of the Catawba River from Lake Wylie Dam to the headwaters of Fishing Creek Reservoir in South Carolina.
		To demonstrate the utility of the Branched Lagrangian Transport Model for the Catawba River, the model was used to simulate several water-quality scenarios to evaluate the effect on the 24-hour mean dissolved-oxygen concentrations at selected sites for August 24, 1996, as simulated during the model calibration period of August 23 27, 1996.
		Removing the point-source inputs on the Catawba River and the point and nonpoint sources in Sugar Creek reduced the organic phosphorus and orthophosphate loadings to Fishing Creek Reservoir by 78 and 85 percent, respectively.
