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.
