Draft 1 - The Impact that Humans Have Had on the Four Mile Creek

This topic submitted by Lisa Headen ( headenln@muohio.edu ) on 1/23/03. [ Rivers Team: Lisa Headen-Section: Cummins/Kaufman]

I want to research the impact humans have on the four mile creek system focusing on their industrial uses of the river system. All things related to the four mile creek and its watershed need to be discussed. If there are any factories or dams on the river they would be focused on the most. I would like to find out how the biodiversity of the water and surrounding terrestial areas have changed since human impacts on the area have began and the extent to which the change has occured. I'm not sure of how the experiment will turn out but I would assume that the biodiversity has decreased and there has been a large increase of non native plants and animals.
