The Indian Creek watershed continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in North Alabama. Despite environmental concerns, the population of this area and surrounding areas continues to grow, initiating the transformation of undeveloped land at an unprecedented rate. The watershed, which is a part of the Tennessee River Basin, is located in Madison County near Huntsville, Alabama. Indian Creek is the major water system for this particular watershed and is in close proximity to much of the urbanization that is taking place. Historically, this watershed as been frequented with flooding and continues to be a flood prone area and subject to increasing concerns as urbanization continues to flourish. The objectives of this study are assess the impact of changes in landuse/landcover and examine the soil and hydrological parameters that affect the processes that take place in this particular watershed. The recent increases in urbanization have inflicted this watershed with even more drainage problems as the percentage of impervious zones is drastically increased. In addition, most of the sources of the pollution in this watershed are non-point source and Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing provide the most efficient methods for examining the sources of this pollution and identifying potential problems.
