Abstract
  • The answer to the question is no, unless you are addressing the latent threats of our chemical age and unless you are employing an aggressive, watershed-wide land use management program. The drought that North Carolina and the Southeast experienced last summer demonstrated our vulnerability to the water quantity problem. But it shouldn't distract planners from the more pernicious threats to water quality posed by urbanizing water supply watersheds in the chemical age. The geometrical increase in chemicals and chemical use since WWII has increased and complicated the threat to our drinking waters. To answer that threat we must mount new and aggressive water supply protection strategies.
