Abstract
This project covers the area within the watershed boundary of Lake Lanier and reviews the water and soil pollution throughout. Because this lake is used for water used in households in the surrounding counties, this analysis examines recreational use of the lake and the surrounding industrial buildings and their potential impact on the lake, as well as the soil cores and water content to help discern where the highest level of pollutants are and where they are most likely to collect.
