RALEIGH – State water resource experts will meet on Monday with water users of the Cape Fear River Basin to discuss the future water usage plans in the basin, which includes the Haw and Deep river basins.
Officials with the N.C. Division of Water Resources report that a number of cities and industries have announced plans for increased future withdrawals of water from the Cape Fear River. The evaluation of these proposed increased water uses will need to consider the sustainable capacity of the Cape Fear River and the cumulative effect on the river of the proposed increased uses. Monday’s meeting, set for 1 p.m. at the Fayetteville Public Works Commission, will include brief updates by sponsors of new water use proposals, including the amount, location and timing of the planned withdrawals.
