The North Carolina Water Resources Research Institute program for 1988-89 focused on several research areas of high priority for the state and southeast region: water supply, waste management, surface water quality, groundwater and technology transfer. Support from the U.S. Geological Survey through the Water Resources Institute Program (WRIP) was supplemented by the Urban Water Consortium, contracts with the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development and with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A high level of university support continued. A total of twenty-two research projects were funded with these combined resources. Three WRIP research projects were supported in FY 88. One evaluated soils and saprolite in the Piedmont Region to assess the movement of various pollutants, especially those found in domestic waste water and landfill leachates, another examined the role of wetlands in removing nutrients from streams receiving waste water discharges, and the third will determine the effectiveness of vegetated buffer areas in removing sediment and phosphorus. The information transfer for the Institute focused on emerging water resources issues and used the following strategies: reviewed and published reports; research reviews; published a bi-monthly newsletter; and organized and co-sponsored 8 workshops and conferences.
