Abstract:

Jordan Lake is a foot over its capacity and during the severe drought, Triangle area municipalities are exploring how to take water from the lake. The problem is that these same municipalities contributed to the extreme pollution currently affecting the lake and do not take care of their own water resources. Instead of fighting over the lake now, municipalities should commit to water conservation efforts to protect water resources for now and the future.
