1 Land-Use and Water Quality Across the Cape Fear River Basin, NC: Exploring Spatial and Temporal Relationships from 2001 to 2006 Jennifer Braswell Alford, PhD
2 Introduction There are over 3.6 million miles of rivers and streams in the United States each exhibiting unique characteristics that are physically, biologically and chemically influenced by the diverse landscapes they traverse (EPA, 2010). Over the past several decades point source and non point Over the past several decades, point source and non-point source pollution (NPSP) inputs to rivers systems have increasingly impaired surface water quality in local and regional watersheds (Carpenter et al., 1998; Mallin et al., 2009; Brabec, 2009).

9 Caveats 30 meter resolution No flow data Imagery dates Nested watersheds Monitoring data
10 Hypotheses Increases in forested land-use types will support better water quality when compared to increases in urban or agricultural land-use types. Water quality will begin to exhibit a noticeable change as Water quality will begin to exhibit a noticeable change as development activities increase across the river basin and at the physiographic region scale.
11 Hypotheses Less-urbanized areas will exhibit poorer water quality when compared to highly urbanized areas. Monitoring stations draining landscape that contain CAFOs will exhibit poorer water quality when compared to those draining traditional agricultural practices.

30 Nutrients The regression models for Nitrate-Nitrite Nitrogen, Ammonium Nitrogen and Phosphorus all generated R-squares less than 17%.
31 Conclusions Although there were only small changes in land-use types from 2001 to 2006, specific land-use types were still statistically linked to water quality impairment at the river basin scale. Stations that exceeded the state standard for fecal in 2001 Stations that exceeded the state standard for fecal in 2001 were largely concentrated in the UCFRB, while in 2006, they were more spatially distributed throughout the river basin.
32 Conclusions Percent mixed forest was the most significant land-use type that was predicted to increase fecal concentrations in both 2001 and Transitional land-use types including exurban development and mixed forest appear to play a critical role in shaping the geography g of water quality across the CFRB.
33 Conclusions Research could be conducted that spatially illustrates how climatic conditions and the proximity of specific land-use types impact water quality as well as the effectiveness of vegetated buffer zones bordering surface water systems. More data is needed to address the extent to which specific activities (e.g. spraying fecal on fields, development, and fertilizer applications) are impacting surface water resources throughout the river basin. Flow data is essential in understanding the extent to which climatic conditions, human activities, and specific land-use types impact water quality throughout h t the basin.
34 Conclusions If decision makers at the local and regional scales are aware of basin wide trends in both land-use changes and water quality, they could then develop more comprehensive policies that benefit the river basin as a whole. Taking into consideration how economic, social, and cultural activities influence water quality will lead to a more well-rounded approach to protecting water resources that can be sustained for future generations to come.
