Abstract:

The Neuse River has been placed on the Top 10 Most Endangered Rivers list. The river is on the list due to the recent development that has exploded around the Raleigh area. The growth has led to a strain on the river due to additional people in the area, water demand, and an increase in wastewater discharges. The various ways in which area residents are creating the problem are explored with commentary from experts.
