    Lake Sidney Lanier is a man made reservoir constructed in 1956. It is a key fresh water source for Metro Atlanta, a population of more than 6.5 million. As urbanization has occurred at a rapid pace all around Lake Lanier, the impact to its watershed has been significant. As sedimentation and erosion happens throughout the watershed, they are transported and deposited further downstream creating a loss of volume within the impoundment area as well as hampering its water quality. TMDL study in 2017 found a large portion of the lake is impaired for algae. The goal of this study was to determine locations that are eroding at the highest rate and at the greatest potential risk of environmental impact. This study made use of the RUSLE model and the SWAT model to analyze soil erosion and status of the impoundment.
