Abstract:

This is Part 2 of a 3-part series on water pollution in the Triangle area. The sources of the Triangle’s water pollution are examined. The majority of pollution is from toxins that run off of city streets caused by citizens. Farmers account for 17 percent of the problem and industry and faulty sewage treatment facilities account for 16 percent. The governments role in regulation and what can be done is also examined.
