Abstract:
Experts say the Triangle’s drinking water is “probably” safe, but carcinogens have been detected in quantities slightly larger than considered safe. The area treatment systems are not equipped to handle this problem. Most of the area’s rivers, lakes, and reservoirs are considered unfit for swimming and drinking. The scope of the Triangle’s water pollution and solutions are examined in Part 1 of a three part series.

Abstract:
The Triangle area is often referred to as a region, but the towns and cities which make up the Triangle area have yet to cooperate like one. The area is facing major transportation and water pollution problems and the area towns and politicians blame each other. Looking at model areas where regional planning has worked, experts believe the Triangle could easily solve their problems if they worked together. This piece was written by
the Independent's Editorial staff.
