Abstract:

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), nonpoint sources of water pollution (i.e., agriculture, urban runoff, mining, forestry, and construction) are among the leading causes of decreased water quality in the United States. The State of North Carolina recently promulgated stringent regulations governing land use in watersheds and are effectively using GIS as a system for hydraulic models to reinforce new legislation.
