Clean water is essential for life. Abundant rivers have been a key, if often overlooked, contributor to North Carolina’s economy and quality of life, used for energy generation, drinking, and recreation. The current extreme drought is sending us a signal: we can’t take our water supplies for granted. 

This year, many communities are worried about running out of water. As North Carolina’s population swells by an estimated 2 million people over the next 15 years, many communities will face tough choices about water use not just during droughts, but all the time. A few sensible changes now in the way we manage water can go a long way to avert human misery and economic disruption in the future.
