What Is The Topography Of The Upper Tennessee River Watershed

Combahee River Collective in their article “Combahee River Collective Statement” examines the relationship between racism, heterosexism, economics, and racism. The group of black feminists, Combahee River Collective, strived to firmly and clearly establish their position when it came to politics of feminism, and therefore separated from the male counterparts and white women (Thomas). In the statement, the activists dwell on four major topics, including the dawn of modern Black feminism, the domain of politics, short history and the issues and practices of the group. This paper gives a summary of “Combahee River Collective Statement” and reviews some of its key points.

The mill creek watershed is 166 square miles with 450,000 people. The main sources of water are rivers, aquifers, and rainwater. The major body of water is the Ohio River. The land around it is hilly.The Mill Creek lies at the heart, soul, and industrial center of Greater Cincinnati. This 28-mile stream begins in Liberty Township, travels through 34 communities, and flows into the Ohio River just west of downtown Cincinnati. The Mill Creek Watershed has withstood two centuries of urbanization and is poised for a comeback. The Mill Creek drew settlers over 200 years ago looking for rich, fertile farmland and water power to support industry, ultimately building Cincinnati into a prosperous industrial powerhouse.

“Only communities located downstream in a watershed need to be concerned about how the water resources are managed in the watershed.”

The Neuse River has played a vital role throughout much of the history of North Carolina. In recent decades however the river has seen degradation of its health and ecology via massive amounts of point and non-point source pollution. The result has been numerous events of eutrophication, resulting in the ecological “dead zones” found throughout the river. Notable contributors of this pollution have been industrial plants and agriculture, most notably power plants and hog farms. As a result, federal and state agencies have enacted strict regulations and water quality standards and procedures to monitor the tributaries, estuarine areas, and main stem of the greater Neuse River watershed.

The Ducktown Basin, or Copper Basin, is located in the southeast corner of Polk County, Tennessee. It is a bowl-like configuration within the southern Appalachian Mountains with elevations ranging from about 1600 to 1800 feet above sea level. Its rolling hills and knobby terrain are drained by the Ocoee River watershed and numerous minor creeks, surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest. The river’s rock-strewn course through the gorge was never navigable, adding to the access problem, but later used for recreation and energy. These waters meet the Hiwassee, a major tributary of the Tennessee River. The Basin area has abundant moisture and mild temperatures, rarely exposed to drought.

The Econ River Wilderness Area is an amazing little swatch of how central Florida used to be. It was interesting to see how many different ecological areas there were in that small bit of land, I believe that we counted 7 in total. Each of these habitats were interesting in their own way and by walking through them and physically seeing how difficult it is to decipher a clear cut line between each habitat helped me appreciate them even more.

Historically, this region was host to communities of Native Americans (East West Gateway Council of Governments, 2007, Leland, 1953). The abundance of freshwater and navigable rivers has attracted communities of people, and subsequently, commerce (Foley, 2000). Naturally, resources throughout the land have been extracted and utilized to further build these communities and attract prospective businesses. In the 19th century, this watershed was impacted by mining, logging, and grazing practices. In the early 20th century, logging dominated resource extraction (East West Gateway Council of Governments, 2007) which swiftly impacted the landscape. Ultimately, as logging stressed this region’s resources, state legislation allowed the federal government to purchase large tracts of land to establish national forest. Soon after, the national mobilization of the Civilian Conservation Corps, during the height

The Little Tennessee River is a one hundred thirty five mile long. The start off the river is in Chattahoochee National Forest then travels through the mountains of western North Carolina then the river basin goes through other national forest lakes,through the Fontana lake and the will eventually emerge with Tennessee river in Knoxville and the ends near the southeastern of the the United States of America. Little Tennessee main tributaries though are Cullasaja River, Nantahala, Cheoah,Tuskegee and Oconaluftee.

The Silver Bow Creek watershed in southwest Montana encompasses approximately 474 square miles and forms a portion of the headwaters of the Clark Fork River and ultimately, the Columbia River (Montana Natural Resource Damage Program, 2009). The site covers about 26 miles of stream and stream side habitat. Silver Bow Creek was used as a conduit for mining, smelting, industrial and municipal wastes for more than a hundred years (Weitz, Luxenberg). Rather large amounts of mine tailings deposits are found along the creek. These deposits contain elevated levels of metals and have been dispersed over the entire flood plain (Weitz, Luxenberg).

One historic site, the foundation of Pigeon Forge, is the Old Mill. The Old Mill was built in 1830. In the early 1800's, a water-powered mill beside the Little Pigeon River was one of the main spots of gathering in the community of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. In those days, the mill faithfully produced the essentials that were needed for the everyday existence of the Smokie Mountains’ early settlers. The Old Mill even made electricity for the town until 1935. One of The Old Mill's most grandest features is the giant water wheel that keeps the flow of the Little Pigeon River. Inside the structure, a very old yet reliable system of shafts, belts, and pulleys still gets the job done, working to turn the 4600-pound stones and grain elevators. Resident

The Arkoma Basin is one of several foreland basins that formed along the Ouachita Orogenic Belt during the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian time periods. It covers approximately 33,800 square miles and extends from southeastern Oklahoma to central Arkansas (Perry, 1997). The Arkoma Basin is bounded to the north by the Ozark Uplift, to the south by the Ouachita Mountains, to the northwest by the Anadarko Basin, to the southwest by the Arbuckle Uplift, and to the southeast by the Mississippian Embayment (Figure 5). The red box in figure 5 denotes the general location of the study area, which is in the eastern Arkoma section.

The Chesapeake Bay Watershed is considered of national high importance due to its 64,000 square miles and 17.4 million people inhabitants. However, this has not been sufficient to improve the health of the ecosystem over the last 25 years. The primary reasons for this lack of improvement are the lack of knowledge and information of the people living on the watershed, the multistate composition of the watershed and the broad range of activities that the watershed supports.

The Atchafalaya River Basin is full of history. From the Choctaws, to the original Cajuns and even to its present day society, the Atchafalaya is not just a distributary of the Mississippi. More can be uncovered the deeper you dive into this river’s past, or in this case, its waters!

Animal husbandry is an incredibly resource intensive process. As the world’s population continues to increase the demand for animal meat and animal bi-products will too. This raises concerns and especially in the United States, one of the world highest concentration for animal husbandry and agribusiness. The focus of this investigation is to determine whether animal husbandry in Texas is sustainable in relation to fresh water use bio-contamination issues.
