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.
