Abstract:
Jim Clark is the president of Save the Water, a Durham-based coalition of conservationists. Clark and the group are lobbying for watershed protection measures in the Triangle area. The area water supply is polluted and at further risk due to booming growth in the area. Clark proposed the “Triangle Express,” a light-rail system, that would be less harmful to the area watershed than the proposed highway thoroughfare plan that would send roads and spur growth in the Falls Lake watershed area.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development may be scheduling public hearings on surface water reclassification requests in the first half of 1989. Some communities have requested a more protective classification of existing water supplies. Others have asked that surface waters now classified for recreation, trout, or other uses be reclassified so that they can be used for public water supplies.

Abstract:
A study of water quality problems in the nation’s streams and rivers has revealed that the worst problems are caused by nonpoint source pollution. In response, the Environmental Protection Agency shifted responsibility for pollution control from federal to state programs. North Carolina has already made substantial progress in assessing water pollution problems, and is soliciting public comments on watershed priorities.

Abstract:
North Carolina communities are acting to protect the streams and reservoirs they rely on for drinking water by requesting reclassification of their water supplies under the North Carolina Water Supply Protection Program. The new system has three water supply classes defined by the amount and types of permitted wastewater discharges and requirements for nonpoint source controls in the watershed. Various departments of State government are offering technical assistance, and land use and economic information.

Abstract:
State government in North Carolina has been helping localities protect their water supplies since 1888 when Raleigh enacted special legislation for the protection of Walnut Creek watershed. Since then, water treatment technology has improved water purification but more efforts are needed to protect undeveloped watersheds under multiple jurisdictions. This article provides recommendations for legislative and executive actions to watershed protection.

Abstract:
Legislation was introduced in the North Carolina General Assembly to establish a commission to study the issue of watershed protection standards. The bill was prompted by concerns among Raleigh city officials about pollution threats to Falls Lake, the main source of drinking water for Raleigh and much of Wake County. The proposed commission would investigate the need for watershed development standards beyond a local basis.

In 1983 the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development launched a new program called Stream Watch. The program aims to encourage citizens’ awareness of watersheds and water resource management, and to establish a partnership among citizens, industries, and state and local governments. Over the past three years, a strong network of diverse groups has been active in the conservation of North Carolina’s major river basins.
