Abstract:
The Chatham County Commissioners have voted to allow the Western Wake Partners (WWP) to build an 8.1-mile underground pipeline though the county. In exchange, WWP offered $500,000 for a youth center, agreed to support legislation preventing the company from involuntarily annexing properties in Chatham County, and free pipeline use for residents in the future. Not all were happy with the deal as Democrats were excluded from the process and many felt a better deal could have been made.

Abstract:
The Sewee shell ring, built during the Late Archaic Period, is located on the lower coastal plain of South Carolina. The structural features that appear to have controlled freshwater at the Sewee shell ring are similar to water control dams and weirs identified at South American archaeological sites.

Abstract:
The North Carolina General Assembly funded a series of studies in response to concerns of residents of Brunswick and Columbus counties about sedimentation, poor water quality, and biological impairment in the Waccamaw River. The studies found indication of high diversity ecosystems, and a major flow of groundwater from the underlying Pee Dee aquifer. The aquifer system represents an economically important source of groundwater throughout the North Carolina Coastal Plain.

Abstract:
Engineers at Research Triangle Institute examined pump use and pumping policies at the Raleigh Falls Lake Pumping Station and, with the aid of a new computer program, suggested changes that resulted in significant cost savings. Models created an optimum schedule for pump operations and helped Raleigh to earn an award for energy conservation from the Energy Division of the North Carolina Department of Commerce.

Abstract:
The drought of 1988 has demonstrated the need for water policy development at all levels of government. A recent survey study by Dr. David H. Moreau, director of the Water Resources Research Institute at the University of North Carolina, indicates that at the local level, where first-line response to drought conditions must be taken, there is a need for improving the state of preparedness of water utilities to deal with the effects of drought.

Abstract:
The United States Geological Survey, the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, and local governments in North Carolina’s Coastal Plain area are cooperating on a study of the hydrology and groundwater resource potential of the Castle Hayne Aquifer in Eastern North Carolina. The study will produce a series of hydrogeologic maps that will be useful in planning and constructing water wells and test holes.

Abstract:
Geographers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will develop methods to predict how climate change may affect local water resources across the southeast. Atmospheric and hydrologic models will be created to predict the occurrence of locally induced storms under various climate scenarios.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission has authorized an investigation to determine whether a capacity water use situation exists or may be emerging in the Upper Neuse River basin, including the Eno River. The Orange County Commissioners suspect that water emergencies experienced by the Hillsborough and Orange Alamance water systems during the droughts of 1983 and 1986 are likely to recur with greater frequency.

Abstract:
The Water Resources Research Institute will support research in four areas under the institute’s Federal Cooperative Program for Fiscal Year 1986. The four projects will examine radon in water, groundwater availability in the Piedmont Saprolite, use of swamp systems for treatment of municipal wastewater, and water quality and fish diseases.

Abstract:
North Carolina has a limited number of sites suitable for the development of water supply reservoirs. Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are assessing the threat of urbanization to future water supply reservoir sites and watersheds.

Abstract:
Uncertainties about the use of Jordan Lake as a public water supply remain strong. Of major concern are toxic substances from industries and farms in the watershed. A recent report from the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management examines the suitability of Jordan Lake as a water resource, and lists eight main sources of toxicants in the watershed.

Abstract:
The Senate Select Committee on Water Resources reported on how changes in the state's population and economy have strained water supply. Switch from agriculture to industry actually requires more water for the dilution of industrial waste and its use in steam-powered machinery. Also the move from a rural to more suburban population demands more water for sewage disposal. These trends demonstrate the greatest need for water resource management in more developed areas of the state such as the Research Triangle.
