Abstract:
Groundwater protection in North Carolina, which primarily the responsibility of the Groundwater Section of the Division of Environmental Management, has been strengthened considerably over the past several years by many research and assessment efforts and by regulatory developments. The groundwater protection program aims to prevent pollution by facilities that generate or treat waste, restore polluted groundwater, and plan for the wise use and development of groundwater resources.

Abstract:
A task force at North Carolina State University has identified more than a dozen ways in which science education can help citizens stretch and protect water supplies. They urged that more consideration be given to irrigating crops with wastewater, and that continued efforts be made to reduce water usage in the pulp, paper and food processing industries.

Abstract:
North Carolina is facing the possibility of having to conserve its public water supplies to protect against an uncertain rainfall-streamflow pattern over the next several months. As the state continues to experience rapid growth, demand for public water supplies tends to follow closely. This article discusses water supplies in Wake and Mecklenburg counties and the use of quarries for expanding reservoir capacity.

Abstract:
A group appointed to develop a strategic plan for water and wastewater infrastructure in North Carolina must first resolve perceptions of regional bias in awarding of Clean Water Bond funds before it can address its original mission. The overall mission is to write a strategic plan for water and sewer and recommend how to come up with a dedicated fund for the plan. To get support across the state for a fund, the distribution of water and sewer funding must be perceived as fair.

Abstract:
A study by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources says that anticipated industrial development and increased agricultural irrigation could have a heavy impact on surface water resources in the Dan River Basin over the next three decades. Development of water resources in the basin must be carefully planned to maintain adequate streamflows and water quality.

Abstract:
The Town of Cary, North Carolina has developed a groundwater system which can provide the town supplemental water on a cost-effective basis. Development of the system was based on site selection criteria by the United States Geological Survey, and supports the contention that wells in the Piedmont can yield much larger quantities of water than previously thought. According to a recent report, the groundwater system was needed because of anticipated increases in the cost of purchasing water and surcharges for additional water from the City of Raleigh.
