Abstract:
The Neuse River was classified by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission as Nutrient Sensitive Waters in 1988 due to excessive algal production and fish kills in the Neuse River Estuary. This resulted in mandatory controls on nutrient point source discharges and financial incentive programs to reduce nonpoint sources of nutrients from agriculture. This article discusses the lessons learned about watershed management that can be valuable as water quality issues continue to be addressed across the state.

Abstract:
Following recent drought conditions, many North Carolina communities are developing water conservation plans and identifying backup water sources. Increasing development in some mountain watersheds is resulting in hydrologic changes, including increasing storm water runoff, erosion and sediment transport, unstable streambanks, and loss of flood plains. These changes will result in more frequent floods with greater impacts to low-lying communities.
