.,-other. The major streams and their respective drainage areas are:, <br /> Coddle Creek, 52,500; Coldwater Creek, 73,100; and Dutch Buffalo[ <br /> 65,400. <br /> <br /> Average annual precipitation (~6 inches) is evenly distributed <br /> throughout the year. Fall is the driest period of the year. <br /> <br /> The watershed is in a transitional zone between the mountains <br /> <br /> to the west and the coastal plain to the east. The land surface is <br /> characterized as rolling country with topographic relief that ranges <br /> from 500 feet to 910 feet mean sea level. <br /> <br /> A wide variety of rocks underlies the watershed, princ£pally <br /> slate, schist, granite, and diorite. Rocks of the Carolina slate <br /> form a belt around three miles wide along the eastern boundary. Paral= <br /> leling the slate is a narrower belt of greenstone schist. West of the <br /> schist is a complex group of igneous rocks iocluding diorite, syenite, <br /> gabbro, and granite. The mantle of weathered rock overlying all rock <br /> units ranges in thickness from a few inches to more than 100 feet. <br /> <br /> Demographic <br /> <br /> Coddle-Coldwater-Dutch Buffalo Creeks Watershed lies within the <br /> Carolina Cresent, an urbanized area extending from Charlotte through <br /> Concord, Kannapolis, Salisbury, Lexington, High Point, Winston-Salem, <br /> Greensboro, Durham, and Raleigh. <br /> <br /> Major towns or citie~ within the watershed include K~nnapolis, <br /> Concord, and Mt. Pleasant. Population within the area is mainly <br /> concentrated in the urban centers, and the urban population is expected <br /> to continue to account for an increasingly larger percentage of the <br /> total population as the watershed develops its own existing textile <br /> industry, and gains new industry. <br /> <br /> -2- <br /> <br /> I <br /> <br /> <br />
