Abstract:
Experts say the Triangle’s drinking water is “probably” safe, but carcinogens have been detected in quantities slightly larger than considered safe. The area treatment systems are not equipped to handle this problem. Most of the area’s rivers, lakes, and reservoirs are considered unfit for swimming and drinking. The scope of the Triangle’s water pollution and solutions are examined in Part 1 of a three part series.

Abstract:
North Carolina has worked hard to keep its rivers clean. Earle C. Hubbard, director of the Division of Stream Sanitation and Hydrology talks about the cleanliness of local water. Hubbard noted that a majority of the streams are classified as pure or clean enough to require minimal chemical changes for everyday use. The abundant water resources in the 16 river basins of North Carolina require constant attention to prevent polluters from damaging the water.
