Abstract |
A study of the need for and value of streamflow regulation for water quality control, for present and future conditions, has been made for the Northeast Cape Fear River Basin, North Carolina. The future needs were based on the results of economic and demographic studies of the area. It was concluded that water quality control measures beyond secondary waste treatment were necessary to protect the beneficial water users in the basin. Storage in the proposed reservoirs would satisfy a portion of the water quality control needs of the basin. (Author) |
