This act was further clarified in the 1957 Act which grants county officials the right \"to acquire, construct, reconstruct, extend, improve, operate, maintain, lease and dispose of water systems and sanitary sewer systems\" and to contract out such work.

Abstract:
On October 29, the North Carolina Drought Monitoring Council issued a warning that if below-average rainfall continues through the spring of 1999, the result could be a record drought. In the mountains, stream flows are approaching record low flows and public water supply systems have enacted water conservation measures. Below normal precipitation in North Carolina is being attributed to La Niña.

Abstract:
The citizens of the Triangle area are flunking the water conservation test as the drought goes on. Most of the state and city leaders are failing citizens too. Soon, all residents will have no choice but deal with involuntary water cutbacks if the trends continue. This is the time for leaders and citizens step up and to work together to preserve what water is left.

Abstract:
On July 12, 2002, Governor Mike Easley issued a statement asking the federal government to designate fifty-four North Carolina counties as disaster areas due to severe drought throughout the state. On recommendation of the North Carolina Drought Monitoring Council, the governor also called water systems and agricultural and industrial users in the Cape Fear River Basin, the Yadkin River Basin, and in Piedmont areas classified as in “exceptional” or “extreme” drought to reduce their water use by at least twenty-percent through mandatory restrictions. This article discusses the drought of 2002, the conditions of stream flows, groundwater and reservoirs, and the impacts to water quality, energy operations and the economy.
