Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This report presents the results of the Central Ohio River Basin (CORB) Survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The CORB extends from central to southern Ohio. It contains 14 complete counties and portions of 23 others. A total of 23 counties have 30 percent or more of their area within the basin. The Scioto River drainage is the largest in the basin with 6,310 square miles. The second largest single drainage area in the basin is the Hocking River with 1,200 square miles. The remaining 3,270 square miles are drained by small tributaries of the Ohio River. The basin was divided into two subbasins a lower and upper basin for planning purposes. The principal objectives of the basin study were to: 1. Identify the basic soil and water related resource problems; 2. Provide information on the quantity and quality of the basin's soil related natural resources; 3. Identify and evaluate alternatives for reducing soil resource problems and meeting food and fiber production needs; 4. Identify opportunities and strategies available to federal, state, and local agencies to alleviate resource problems.
