Water In NC: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: The Rivers in our Lives
Streams and rivers form North Carolina’s circulatory system. Almost every major town in North Carolina owes its existence to a river. For most North Carolinians, rivers are essential to the generation of power (by cooling of turbines), provide recreation, and contribute immeasurably to quality of life.
