Abstract:
Urban sprawl, fragmented natural areas, and polluted air, soil, and water challenge urban and regional planners throughout the world. Water and nature management is exceedingly difficult because these resources have multiple uses, are impacted by numerous pollution sources, and intersect jurisdictional boundaries. The traditional environmental planning approach to these problems is based on the separation of urban, rural, and environmental functions and tends to focus on the protection of natural areas. However, this is not a sustainable method of planning. Therefore, planning must seek to achieve a better balance between ecosystem and watershed integrity and the provision of human, social, and economic services. In order to accomplish this, planning must recognize that problems with water and natural areas are interrelated.

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.

Abstract:
Rules to cleanup Falls Lake are set, but the important source of water remains a mess. The water is not swimmable or drinkable and does not meet water quality standards set by the EPA. Raleigh and Durham are fighting over who is responsible and who will pay for the cleanup. Durham questions whether the cleanup is worth the cost and Raleigh supports the cleanup and plan as Falls Lake supplies water to the city. The details of the plan, the history of the disaster, and the fight over it are explained.
