Results of more than 50 years of scientific investigation at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory have established the site as a national and international center for forest ecosystem and hydrology research. The 2185-ha Laboratory, located in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, is a USDA Forest Service property where cooperative research is jointly administered by the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station and the University of Georgia. In 1986 the research program included more than 50 senior investigators and over 50 graduate students and technicians from 19 different universities and agencies. Although current research use of the site is high, lack of adequate overnight facilities has significantly restricted use by important segments of the scientific community. One house trailer with accommodations for eight persons is the only on-site facility currently available for overnight occupancy. This project provides support to renovate and refurbish an existing building for dormitory, living and work space to accommodate up to 30 investigators. Funds are also provided for a microcomputer to be placed in the facility and a four-wheel-drive vehicle for shared investigator use. Support for these items will substantially enhance the value of the site for environmental and hydrologic research.

Coweeta 水文实验室 50 多年来的科学研究成果已使该实验室成为国家和国际森林生态系统和水文研究中心。 该实验室占地 2185 公顷，位于北卡罗来纳州南阿巴拉契亚山脉，隶属于美国农业部林业局，东南森林实验站和佐治亚大学共同管理该实验室的合作研究。 1986年的研究项目包括来自19所不同大学和机构的50多名高级研究员和50多名研究生和技术人员。 尽管目前该地点的研究使用率很高，但缺乏足够的过夜设施严重限制了科学界重要部分的使用。 一辆可容纳八人的房屋拖车是目前唯一可供过夜使用的现场设施。 该项目为改造和翻新现有宿舍楼、生活和工作空间提供支持，以容纳最多 30 名研究人员。 还提供资金用于在设施中放置一台微型计算机和一辆供调查人员共用的四轮驱动车辆。 对这些项目的支持将大大提高该地点的环境和水文研究价值。
