NC River Basin Project 
NC River Basin Project
For this project you will research one of NC’s river basins and complete a brochure on that particular basin. This is an individual project. You are allowed to use any of the resources I have shown you or posted on my website. You are required to research more information on your own. Remember that CMHS has its own databases and that random Google searches are not good sources.
