Abstract:
Following recent drought conditions, many North Carolina communities are developing water conservation plans and identifying backup water sources. Increasing development in some mountain watersheds is resulting in hydrologic changes, including increasing storm water runoff, erosion and sediment transport, unstable streambanks, and loss of flood plains. These changes will result in more frequent floods with greater impacts to low-lying communities.
