TITLE: Land Use Impacts on Water Quality in Central Arkansas: A Three-Year Comparative Study of Urban, Agricultural, and Protected Drinking Water Watersheds

Agricultural and urban expansion increasingly impacts water quality in the southeastern United States, yet comprehensive studies comparing agricultural watersheds to other land uses are relatively rare. Understanding these different impacts is critical for targeted watershed management and protection of drinking water resources, particularly for the growing population of nearly 500,000 people in Central Arkansas. This study presents results from a three-year monitoring program comparing water quality across urban, agricultural, and protected drinking water watersheds in central Arkansas to quantify land use effects and identify priority management areas.

SPEAKER: Heather Black, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Geology, University of Arkansas, Little Rock, hblack@ualr.edu
