Diane Shearer presented slides about the Alapaha River of her homeland,
31 March 2012 at Georgia River Network Weekend for Rivers,
and said:
Right there at Alapaha, where it’s been clearcut behind it.
This is one of the main problems of the river: there used to be nothing
on that shore there but huge cypress trees and tupelo trees, and that’s
almost gone everywhere.
And that’s one of the great dangers to this river, is
agricultural runoff, the fact that people can suck all the water
out of it they want to, for irrigation and those sorts of things.
