Madisonville has many creeks in its watershed and this organization does a lot of good work on the Ohio River area for folks in Kentucky. In Madisonville depending upon which street you are standing, rainwater will either flow to Flat Creek, Elk Creek, Clear Creek, Greasy Creek and eventually either end up in Tradewater River or Pond River on its way to Green River. Non point source water pollution is where there is not an end of the pipe sample point. It may be easy to sample by taking one at a culvert under a roadway, but its fed by rain running off a site and typically if regulated a disturbed site. As point source controls get better, non point source especially for sediment releases to streams will be an impact on watersheds. Kentucky Waterways Alliance > Home
