The main objective of this proposed research is to study the magnitude and causes of septic system failure in rural Black Belt region of Alabama and its impact on the socioeconomic and public health conditions of the local community. A lack of septic system in rural Alabama is a complex mix of environmental, human right, environmental justice, health, sanitation and geospatial problems. A multi-method and interdisciplinary approach involving geospatial, environmental engineering, water quality and

Introduction We live in an age where most environments on earth have been impacted by anthropogenic activities. For thousands of years, humans have been a natural component of ecosystems across the globe (Chapin et al, 2011). Human-environmental interaction contributes to processes that affect fluvial environments. For example, impervious surfaces are ubiquitous in urban areas; these anthropogenic surfaces reroute runoff (among other things), which can ultimately impact the morphology, water quality

environmental impacts of the urbanization process and compare this to the impacts of urbanization in the D’Olive Creek Watershed, with specific emphasis on the temporal geomorphology of the area. The D’Olive Creek Watershed is located in Baldwin County, Alabama and is part of Mobile Bay, which is classified as one of the largest and most ecologically significant estuaries in the United States – it is also a member of the National Estuary Program (Stout et al. 1998, p. xv).

imagery, aerial photographs, and digital data can be used to analyze how anthropogenic activities impact environments spatially and temporally. This study will investigate how land cover has changed in the D’Olive Creek Watershed, located in Baldwin County, Alabama via the use of geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing methods and technology. For the purpose of this study, “land cover” refers to how much of a region is covered by specified land and water types (e.g. forests, wetlands
