Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates why the Neuse River in North Carolina, the second-largest river entirely within its borders, has suffered from eutrophication (nutrient enrichment) since the 1970s. The author focuses on the causes of this degradation, including nutrient loading from nonpoint sources like agriculture and urban runoff, as well as point sources like wastewater treatment plants. The author outlines the history of the problem and how, despite monitoring and research by the state's Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, eutrophication has continued to worsen. The author also discusses proposed solutions like stricter effluent standards and cost-share programs for farmers, and emphasizes the importance of engaging communities and finding cost-effective solutions that yield tangible benefits. The book provides a detailed account of the issue and offers solutions for cleaning up the river and protecting its future.
