Open Space and Urban Water Management. Phase II. Case Studies and Findings
A detailed examination was made of local goals, criteria, and planning strategies for the preservation of open space and the related management of urban water resources. The key elements are two extensive case studies of small, urbanizing water-sheds in the Piedmont Region of North Carolina. The two watersheds offer good examples of the diverse problems, issues, goals, and criteria that may be involved in open space preservation and related urban water management. Crabtree Creek watershed, near and including part of Raleigh, N.C., offers a case study in which (a) several city and county agencies have been involved in open space and related urban water management activities; (b) the state is expanding a major state park; (c) the SCS is helping to implement a system of flood control impoundments; (d) the EPA is reviewing the probable impacts of a proposed major sewer interceptor; and (e) the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation are studying alternative flood control/recreation plans for the main stem of the Crabtree Creek within Raleigh. The Eno River watershed near Durham, N.C., offers an important contrast in that the watershed is more rural and scenic with steep valleys and narrow floodplains. Thus, interest has focused on preserving much of the river valley in its natural state and on creating a state park.
