WAWA is most known for its pioneering efforts to protect over 400 acres of greenspace in Southwest Atlanta from development, and its recent efforts to lead a community engagement process to develop a new 200 acre park in West Atlanta (Lionel Hampton-Beecher Hills Nature Preserve). |
It has been a long time in the making. WAWA now has GIS! In a partnership between the Metro Atlanta Urban Watershed Institute (MAUWI), West Atlanta Mountain Bike Association (WAMBA) and WAWA, there is now a clearinghouse for information that details land use, storm water drainage, tree canopy coverage, impervious surface coverage and other conditions within our communities. The West Atlanta Watershed Alliance has tried for the last 10 years to establish its capacity to produce maps and collect data that help evaluate creek conditions and the land that surrounds and supports these water bodies, our three adopted watersheds.
