In dealing with the issue of interbasin transfer, I feel that <br />it would be best if we apply the "golden rule" and "do unto <br />others as we would have them do unto us." How many of our <br />systems in North Carolina t; -aly return all of the water that <br />we withdraw unaffected by quantity or quality? Consumptive <br />losses of water should be dealt with equally for all water <br />withdrawals regardless of whether they are within a river <br />basin from which the water is withdrawn or result from the <br />logical transfer of water across a river basin ridge line. <br />No water system or community in North Carolina should impose <br />limitations on another community relative to these issues <br />that they would not be willing to have imposed on their <br />community. I hope that we will eventually develop a truly <br />comprehensive water law for North Carolina that is fair and <br />impartial to all who withdraw and use this precious natural <br />resource in North Carolina. <br />1190153 <br />E <br />C, <br />J <br />5 <br />
