The Average North Carolinian Uses 160 Gallons of Water per Day!
Do the math. We need 1.4 billion gallons per day just to meet today’s needs.
Factor in rapid growth, recent droughts and the lack of leadership attention to
water issues and you have the makings of a major water crisis in our state.
What are we going to do about it?
NC SPIN, North Carolina’s only independently produced statewide TV and radio talk show, presented a 1-day conference devoted entirely to water, including subjects like:
- Who owns the water?
- Can anything be done about supply and demand?
- How does water impact economic development?
- What role should government play in water issues?
- How can we finance water systems?
- What are practical solutions to our issues?
NC H20 was held on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at:
Holiday Inn Brownstone Hotel
1707 Hillsborough Street
Raleigh, NC 27605
A distinguished list of North Carolina’s "Who’s Who in Water" made formal presentations
and participated in significant panel discussions. Unlike many conferences the audience also
contributed.
A set of DVD"s is available for $25 which includes:
