A major issue facing the greater New Hanover County, North Carolina, area is increased demand for drinking water resources as a result of rapid growth. The principal sources freshwater supply in County are withdrawals surface from Cape Fear River and groundwater underlying Castle Hayne Peedee aquifers. Industrial, mining, irrigation, aquaculture increasingly compete with public-supply utilities resources. Future population growth economic expansion will require dependence on high-quality...

Records were obtained for 305 wells and 1 spring in northwestern Lee southeastern Chatham counties, North Carolina. Well depths ranged from 26 to 720 feet yields 0.25 100 gallons per minute. A subset of 56 sampled baseline groundwaterquality constituents including the following: major ions; dissolved metals; nutrients; gases (including methane); volatile semivolatile organic compounds; glycols; isotopes strontium, radium, methane (if sufficient concentration), water; inorganic carbon....
Land application of municipal wastewater biosolids is the most common method management used in North Carolina and United States. Biosolids have characteristics that may be beneficial to soil plants. can take advantage these qualities, whereas disposal landfills or incineration poses no use waste. Some independent studies laboratory analysis, however, shown land-applied pose a threat human health surface-water groundwater quality. The effect applied agriculture fields largely unknown...
