Abstract:
North Carolina is in the middle of a drought and the state has not done enough to help with the problem. The state needs to do more to educate the citizens of the need to conserve water. Strategic planning for water conservation is also needed at the state and city levels. Releasing press statements and public service announcements is not enough. An in-depth look at the state’s drought and specific details for how the state can conserve water are explored.

Abstract:
As the state’s drought gets worse, the amount of water available is an area of serious concern. The state can only step in to help with a water shortage if there is no water available at local stores and the market cannot support the state’s population. Private water bottling companies pull water from local municipalities and then sell it back to residents at a higher cost. The impact these companies have on the state’s supply and the state's drought plans are detailed in-depth.

Abstract:
Raleigh is working hard to develop a plan during this current water crisis. The city council ignored recommendations for a tiered-rate system advised by a task force after droughts in 2002 and 2005. Now, city council members are promising to look at serious conservation policies including a tiered-rate system. The problems with that system and possible solutions to the problem in Raleigh are detailed.

Abstract:
The Triangle area is in the middle of a drought and many individuals and local officials are ignoring the problem. Many residents are ignorant of their responsibility to their community. The problem also is showing how the overall demand for water is finally catching up with the supply which has been brought on by increased growth and a lack of planning. Officials need to develop long-term plans to deal with the problem.

Abstract:
The citizens of the Triangle area are flunking the water conservation test as the drought goes on. Most of the state and city leaders are failing citizens too. Soon, all residents will have no choice but deal with involuntary water cutbacks if the trends continue. This is the time for leaders and citizens step up and to work together to preserve what water is left.

Abstract:
North Carolina farmers have been severely damaged by the summer drought, with estimated losses in the state at more than $300 million. This also impacts consumers because the prices of products that use corn, soybeans and wheat are going to be higher in the months ahead. This has prompted calls by North Carolina congressmen for federal aid to ease the burden.
