Question: How well have water tables in the state recovered from the drought a couple of years back?

Answer: During the drought that peaked in 2002, groundwater levels fell significantly below normal across much of North Carolina. These levels, which are tracked by way of a network of monitoring wells around the state, have recovered to well above normal levels in many places, with almost all sites reporting at least near normal capacity. See http://www.ncwater.org/drought/wells.php for site-specific readings.
