About this Item

Print on Demand. In North Carolina, water management has shifted from a development focus to addressing environmental concerns. This book examines the state of water management in North Carolina, concluding that despite adequate water management legislation, further development is required, particularly for nonpoint source pollution and water quantity. In particular, the book emphasizes the need for effective surface and groundwater allocation strategies to meet competing demands and address conflicts. The author argues that North Carolina lacks a comprehensive water management program that adequately balances water quality and quantity, emphasizing the significance of developing a robust state water management program to address these challenges effectively.

Synopsis

Exploring North Carolina’s water future and how to manage it.

A concise, policy‑focused look at the Legislative Study Commission’s work on water supply, wastewater, and regional planning. This edition distills the commission’s findings, debates, and recommended pathways, framing how state and local actors might cooperate to meet growing needs.

It covers who was involved, the questions the commission faced, and the key issues shaping water policy in the state. You’ll see how officials weighed options like a state water authority and river basin commissions, along with the challenges of financing, planning, and intergovernmental cooperation. The text also outlines current laws, identified gaps, and suggested amendments to improve water resource management.

• An overview of the commission’s goals and the main issues in water quantity and quality management
• Findings on current laws, planning capacity, and funding for water projects
• Possible organizational options, including a state body or basin-based authorities
• General recommendations for planning, legislation, and interagency cooperation

Ideal for readers of state policy, public administration, and environmental planning who want a clear sense of how North Carolina could approach its water challenges.
