Abstract:
Scientists believe that issues of limited water supply, sediment pollution, and excessive nitrogen are emerging as recurrent problems. The accepted nutrient application practices across the Coastal Plain may be contributing to unacceptably high nutrient concentrations throughout shallow aquifers. They advise plans to define sustainable rates of nutrient application to the land.

Abstract:
In North Carolina, none of the state’s water and wastewater facilities have been assessed for potential impacts of the Year 2000 (Y2K) problem and the possible consequences of remaining unprepared. Because many water and wastewater treatment systems are highly reliant on automated functions controlled by embedded microchips, these systems may not function if there is a computer or electrical failure. The water industry is also worried that consumers will fill water and other containers with water on December 31, creating unusual demand and problems with water pressure.

Abstract:
Giant Salvinia (Salvinia molesta) is a new invasive aquatic weed that has turned up in botanical gardens and ponds in eastern North Carolina counties, and has been traced to aquatic nurseries and dealers. Native to South America, giant salvinia is a floating fern that can double its biomass in about two days. The North Carolina Department of Agricultural and Consumer Services’ Plant Protection Division is working with dealers and nurseries to prevent the establishment of giant salvinia in natural waters.

Abstract:
According to the United States Geological Survey, drought conditions began to prevail across North Carolina beginning in summer 1998 and worsened until December 1998. Rains during December 1998 through May 1999 helped in many areas to alleviate the drought’s effects and return streamflows to normal. However, rainfall totals were still below normal and were insufficient to completely recharge the groundwater sources that sustain stream base flows.
