Uncertainties about the use of Jordan Lake as a public water supply remain strong. Of major concern are toxic substances from industries and farms in the watershed. A recent report from the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management examines the suitability of Jordan Lake as a water resource, and lists eight main sources of toxicants in the watershed.

Abstract:
A recent report by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management shows much evidence that water quality across the state has improved substantially over the last two years. One of the major reasons for improvement is the intensive point-source pollution control effort launched in 1972. However, water quality concerns remain for coastal development, watershed protection, water toxicants, and eutrophication.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management revised their 1985 report on animal operations and water quality to include recommendations that could bring about an increase in the number of North Carolina animal operations designated “concentrated” and thereby potentially subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit regulations. The recommended changes would also result in better data for determining the impact animal operations have on the state’s water quality.

Abstract:
Responding to the trend of health consciousness was Winston-Salem’s Primo Water Company. Part of its profile was company-related challenges, such as a decrease of retailers to promote its products. Encouraging a continuation of services were statistics, such as number of individual water bottles saved when Primo jugs were used an average of 40 times. Also inciting service continuation was a reminder about the 2016 Flint, Michigan water crisis and harmful chemicals that may be still present in everyday tap water.
