Booming populations, rich freshwater diversity, and water scarcity: the common challenges of the towns along the I-85 corridor

The towns that line the I-85 corridor from Atlanta to Raleigh have several commonalities: burgeoning populations, reliance on small rivers and tributaries for water supply and waste disposal, and some of the richest freshwater aquatic biodiversity on the planet. These commonalities lead to shared problems. A team of University of Georgia researchers, from the Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems and the Odum School of Ecology recently published a paper that gets at the heart of this issue.
