  • Water Supply & Wastewater
    Piedmont Triad Climate Resiliency Tool Kit Water Supply & Wastewater Introduction Water is a scarce natural resource in the Piedmont region. As the Piedmont Triad continues to grow and develop, and the demand for potable water increases, it has become increasingly important to monitor the surface water capacity available to fulfill our regional water demand. Short-term solutions to water issues are generally quick and necessary steps in reaction to immediate concerns. However, a long-term planning approach will better prepare local governments for the unique challenges facing our region. Investment in a deeper understanding of the complex and challenging political, regulatory, and environmental issues surrounding water supply will help guide decision-makers to consider future ramifications of options in resource planning. This assessment of current and future (20-50 years) water resource needs and wastewater treatment plant capacity includes the 12-county Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC) Region (Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin Counties). Water supply and wastewater capacity are assessed within the context of surface water availability, projected population growth, geography, current laws and regulations, water quality, and patterns of water use (water conservation and water reuse). Background Drinking water comes from two primary sources, surface water or groundwater. Surface water is the water found above ground in the form of rainwater runoff, streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Groundwater is unseen and deep in the ground saturating porous sandy soils or fractures of bedrock. Surface water and groundwater affect each other. Groundwater comes to the surface (springs) and can help replenish surface water.

  • Power and Populations in the North Carolina Backcountry
    Journal of Backcountry Studies People of Desperate Fortune: Power and Populations in the North Carolina Backcountry BY JOSHUA LEE MCKAUGHAN Between the late 1740’s and the outbreak of the American Revolution, the western half of North Carolina underwent a rapid change from sparsely inhabited frontier to an area containing nearly one half of the colony’s population. To one period observer, these were merely “people of desperate fortune…without any property” hoping to exchange one “best poor man’s country” for another.1 Hoping to acquire sufficient acreage so that they and their children might achieve “competency” – or economic independence – these migrants sought to make the most of the opportunity offered by Carolina’s cheap fertile land. The farms they established commonly focused on subsistence crops and home industry. For many, the marketplace was a distant force to be tapped only for the goods that they or their neighbors desired but could not produce on their own.2 However, as European demand for wheat increased during the 1750’s, the back settlers responded to the market stimulus not only through their crop choices, but by increasing their petitions for improved connections to market areas. The more enterprising frontiersmen also added the labor of African and African-American slaves to that of their families in an attempt to not only increase their production of staples, but to increase their personal power and prestige – perhaps even to free themselves for officeholding and other pursuits. With this, the Backcountry grew to reflect eastern values – albeit on a rather more modest scale. The same blending of Backcountry and tidewater traditions found in the growing awareness of the market and slavery was no less conspicuous in the efforts of some back settlers to move up in the world.

The Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin bisects North Carolina, running north to south, neatly separating counties on its journey.
