Abstract:
Natural water gathering in two newly discovered Carolina bays, designated as Oak Bay and Pine Bay was studied. These bays and the Sewee shell ring, a planned water gathering system built in the Archaic Period, provided a supply of freshwater. This study describes how hunter-gatherers utilized natural landscape features at these coastal archaeological sites.

Abstract:
According to the United States Geological Survey’s National Water Conditions, temperatures were above normal throughout most of the nation in July.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources is reassessing its regulation of groundwater and surface water withdrawals in Capacity Use Area #1, a multicounty area centered around Beaufort County. The Division is conducting an aquifer framework analysis and modeling groundwater flow in the Castle Hayne Aquifer as a basis for reviewing future groundwater withdrawal permit applications and assessing whether continued regulation of withdrawals in the area is necessary.

Abstract:
Connelly Springs, a small town in Burke County, will soon have drinking water thanks to the assistance from a new program within the Construction Grants and Loans Section of the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management. By 1995, the town will have completed a distribution system that will allow access to the county’s water supply. Construction is being done by residents as part of the loan agreements under the North Carolina Small Community Self-Help Program.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources conducted a study at Currituck County Outer Banks in response to property owners requesting a Capacity Use Area designation under the Water Use Act of 1967. This would restrict water withdrawals from the surficial aquifer, which is the sole source of drinking water for Currituck. The study concluded that if a management plan is not prepared by 2000, then the designation should be considered.

Abstract:
In May, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission proposed regulations for allocating water supply from Jordan Lake. The rules set out a process to guide water supply allocation but do not allocate the water to specific users. The proposed rule would also require that fifty-percent of the water supply remain unallocated in first-round allocations.

Abstract:
North Carolina has a network of seventy-seven continuous-record stream gages operated by the United States Geological Survey. These gages collect real-time data to help the state to respond to floods and manage water-supply systems during droughts. Currently, there are concerns about funding to maintain the network and to offset increasing maintenance costs.

Abstract:
To protect the largest stand of maritime forest left on the Outer Banks and the Cape Hatteras Aquifer, which provides water to most of the residents in the area, the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management has proposed designating the Buxton Woods area as an Area of Environmental Concern. The designation would restrict development in Buxton Woods, and the proposal has created controversy.

The North Carolina Division of Water Resources is reviewing comments in preparation for making final recommendations for allocating water supply storage in Jordan Lake to local water authorities. In a draft allocation plan, the towns of Cary and Apex and Chatham/Orange Counties will receive all the water supply they requested to fill immediate need, but most long-range allocations will be deferred.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources estimates that almost three-hundred-million gallons of water are being saved each year through leak detection measures being used by local water supply systems in North Carolina. A recent report shows that the leak detection program has saved over two-hundred-thousand dollars since 1983.
