(There is no charge for this event.)
The Watershed Management Optimization Support Tool (WMOST) is a decision support tool that facilitates integrated water management at the local or small watershed scale.
Integrated water management involves coordination across multiple programs for land, water, and related resources (stormwater, wastewater, drinking water, land conservation) to find sustainable and cost-effective solutions.
WMOSTv3 has an associated theoretical documentation report as well as a detailed user guide. While version 2 only included management options related to water quantity, version 3 of WMOST also includes water quality management.
ATLANTA â Zoo Atlanta recently celebrated the births of twin golden lion tamarins, born on Feb. 11. The infants, who are now a month old, are the offspring of parents Blixx and Tiete.
While twin births are common for the species, the first month of life is an exceptionally fragile period for golden lion tamarins, which are born weighing only around 2 ounces. Adult golden lion tamarins â named for the orange to reddish-gold manes around their faces â are similar in size to squirrels, weighing only 22 to 25 ounces.
âThe birth of any animal at Zoo Atlanta is cause for celebration, but Zoo Atlantaâs long partnership in the conservation of this endangered species makes these especially important births that are crucial to the long-term viability of their species,â Jennifer Mickelberg, Zoo Atlantaâs vice president of collections and conservation, said.

The Fall Line is a real term used to describe the difference in two regions.
South and east of the line you have what s called the Coastal Plain. West and north of the line you have the Piedmont.
As National Geographic says, In the eastern United States, there is a major fall line between the hard rock of the Appalachian Piedmont and the soft sediment of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. This line was important to early European explorers because it marked the limits of river travel for ships. Many cities developed along this fall line, including Trenton, New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
