Summary:
"Clean water is essential to human life. Water quality has been defined in the United States as a policy problem, worthy of public attention and action. The growth of industry, urbanization, and agriculture, along with increases in human population, have placed much of the nation's supply of water in jeopardy. The issue of environmental protection, especially the protection of water quality, is fundamental to the health and welfare of the population"-- Provided by publisher.
