Abstract
  • Rural water systems have been welcomed by many North Carolina citizens seeking a dependable source of high quality water. There is a growing concern, however, that the installation of rural water systems may induce sprawl development with negative social, environmental, and fiscal repercussions for rural areas. This report examines the relationships between public investments and rural growth, and then analyses the potential impacts induced by that growth. It assumes that explicit consideration of secondary impacts during preproject evaluation will help avoid undesired and unplanned outcomes of rural capital improvements.
