Abstract:
Construction on the Outer Banks of North Carolina is resulting in the creation of large expanses of impervious areas. Disposing of the runoff from these areas during storms in a manner that is not detrimental to the adjacent sounds and ocean is among the most pressing water management problems confronting the developers and public officials in this area. This article discusses the issue, potential design problems, the water table, and artificial drainage.

Abstract:
A new concept in water management may lead to improved water usage on millions of acres of cropland in North Carolina. A research project is testing to see if the Mitchell Swamp Canal of the Conetoe Creek Water District can be made to double as a water reservoir. The project will install a new inflatable dam called Fabridam to control the water level in the canal.

Abstract:
While designed for flood prevention and other benefits, a watershed project can provide some unexpected beauty. The Bear Creek Watershed Project, which serves parts of Wayne, Greene and Lenoir Counties in eastern North Carolina, developed dams and a natural landscape to prevent erosion and flooding. The watershed also provides opportunities for bass fishing, nature enjoyment, and habitat for wildlife.

Abstract:
A questionnaire was distributed to farmers, industrial facilities, and others throughout fourteen Piedmont cities. The questionnaire was part of a study to examine adherence to water laws, impediments created by these laws, and the cost to the consumer. Those administering and recording the results of this study hoped to determine a more efficient water legislation plan in the face of technological changes and increased strain on the resource because of growing populations in the region.
