Why Water Warriors?
Welcome to the !

Stream characters of Wake County, NC.

''Wake Water Warriors are the streams and their supporters in Wake County, NC. Our lair, and the streams' history, began over 300 millions years ago when Africa and North American collided to create Pangea. Volcanoes erupted, creating the Appalachian mountains and the streambed beneath Central NC. 18,000 years ago, sea levels pulled back, leaving NC's Piedmont to develop. Raleigh gneiss rock—fractured bedrock-- became the Warriors' long-term aquifer. Metaigneous felsic filled their regolith (shallow aquifer), where rainwater collects to support the Warriors throughout the year, especially during dry periods, and which refills fractured bedrock in the depths of my lair. Native Americans from many tribes most likely hunted and fished on my shores for hundreds of years before settlements developed. The Warriors' allies include supportive humans, creatures living in and around the streams, and the trees and plants of Wake County. Enemies include pollution, floods, droughts, and climate change.''​
