Abstract:
On July 12, 2002, Governor Mike Easley issued a statement asking the federal government to designate fifty-four North Carolina counties as disaster areas due to severe drought throughout the state.

This article discusses the drought of 2002, the conditions of stream flows, groundwater and reservoirs, and the impacts to water quality, energy operations and the economy.
