Benefits of Watershed Work
Watershed projects in Geor
gia are providing many bene
fits beyond their basic intent
of preventing floods, according
to the 1967 report of the Geor
gia State Soil and Water Con
servation Committee,
These include economic and
recreational benefits, pollution
abatement, wildlife habitat
improvement, and storage of
water for towns and cities —
and for industrial and agricul
tural use.
The Small Watershed Pro
gram has fostered the growth
of one of the most beneficial
rural development programs
in the history of Georgia, de
clared State Committee Chair
man Jim L. Gillis Jr. of Sop
erton.
In dozens of bustling com
munities, enterprising flood
edgy farm and city people are
joining together in an all-out
battle with storm runoff and
high water, the Committee
chairman stated. “They are
storing water and using it in a
variety of ways for their mu
tual benefit.”
Seven Georgia cities with a
combined population of more
than 40,000 are pumping wat
er from flood prevention
structures for municipal and
industrial use. Other struc
tures are providing recrea
tional areas for swimming,
boating, skiing, fishing and
picnicking.
“Watershed benefits are un
limited, extend to many peo
ple, and go far beyond flood
prevention,” Mr. Gillis said.
He pointed out how water
shed development influences
the economic development of
an area. It has been estimated

for example, that some 18 or
more new industries or busi
nesses have been attracted to
Georgia because of water
shed work. In addition, about
30 established industries or
businesses have expanded.
Mr. Gillis said Georgia con
tinues to be a leader in water
shed work. Forty-six projects
have been approved for plan
ning or federal assistance,
and there is a backlog of ap
plications to be processed.
Under projects now in oper
ation or completed, 223 flood
water retarding structures
have been constructed and
485 miles of stream channels
improved. More than 200,000
critical areas have been treat
ed.
A total of $29 million has
been spent on construction of
watershed projects by the
Soil Conservation Service in
Georgia. Benefits accruing to
communities as a result of
completed projects amount to
$951,000 annually.
The State Committee chair
man also pointed out that,
since 1962, nineteen watershed
work plans have been prepar
ed by using state funds ap
propriated for that purpose.
Anyway you look at it, ac
cording to Mr. Gillis, water
shed work in Georgia is big
business. He said widespread
prosperity has always result
ed from successful small wat
ershed projects, and added
that this is why watershed
projects are widely supported
from main street to the small
est farm in the watershed.

SOIL CONDITIONER
If you use sawdust as a
soil conditioner in planting
shrubs, a second application
of nitrogen may be necessary,
according to Gerald Smith,

ticulturist. When sawdust is
mixed into the soil, nitrogen
deficiency usually occurs dur
