Flint River (Georgia) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The river drains 8,460 sq mi (22,464 km²) of western Georgia, flowing south from the upper Piedmont region south of Atlanta to the wetlands of the coastal plain in the southwestern corner of the state. It rises in west central Georgia in southern Fulton County on the southern outskirts of the Atlanta metropolitan area near the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. In 1994, during flooding from Tropical Storm Alberto, the river crested at 43 feet or 13 meters in Albany, resulting the evacuation of over 23,000 residents, and creating one of the worst natural disasters in the state's history. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Flint_River_(Georgia)   (520 words)

Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center |   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) The importance of the Flint River to the southwestern Georgia area, in terms of economics, human health, recreation, and aquatic habitat, is incalculable. Although the connection between the Upper Floridan aquifer and the Flint River is well documented, the processes that control the rate of groundwater discharge to the streams are poorly understood. It is hypothesized that hydrologic factors other than site-specific groundwater levels in the western part of the Flint River Basin and the stream-aquifer head relation have a pronounced bearing on the rate of groundwater discharge to the lower Flint River. www.jonesctr.org /research/aquatics_research/groundwater_sw.html   (429 words)

Back when he was a boy, growing up on a dairy farm outside of Americus, when the highlight of the week was fishing or duck hunting on the Flint River, he had dreamed of one thing: seeing where the Flint River came from, and where it went. In June of 1999, the soft-spoken veterinarian reached the quiet, impounded waters of Lake Seminole, its 37,500 watery acres formed by the confluence of the Flint and Chattahoochee. www.sherpaguides.com /georgia/flint_river/sidebars/richard_greene.html   (968 words)

Flint River Basin Plan The Flint River Plan was launched in response to hydrogeologic studies that suggested a severe impact on flows in the Flint River and its tributaries due to agricultural irrigation. In response to these studies, EPD placed a moratorium on new agricultural withdrawal permits from the Floridan aquifer in southwest Georgia and on all agricultural surface water withdrawal permits for the entire Flint River Basin. One of the major goals of the Flint River Plan will be to address the moratorium to determine whether it can be lifted in whole or in part, if at all. www.gadnr.org /frbp   (357 words)

USGS Open-File Report 95-739: Use and Occurrence of Pesticides in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin, ... 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. pubs.usgs.gov /of/1995/ofr95-739   (755 words)

USGS ACF-NAWQA PUBLICATIONS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) In August and November of 1992, 19 main-channel, tributary, reservoir, and floodplain sites in the Flint and Apalachicola River basins were sampled as part of an occurrence and distribution survey for trace-element and organic contaminants in fluvial sediments. Extreme flooding in much of the lower Flint River basin resulted from Tropical Storm Alberto (July 1994) and moved large quantities of soil and sediment in the lower Flint River basin; and to a lesser extent, in the Apalachicola River basin. The most distinctive post-flood difference was the marked decrease in the concentration of fine sediments in the stream channelsæan observation consistent both with the transport and deposition of sand-sized material in the stream channels and with the discharge of fine-sized material from the basin. ga.water.usgs.gov /nawqa/publications/buell.gwrc.97.html   (382 words)
