Description
In this issue we recognize and celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Clean Water Act (CWA), which has been instrumental in protecting and improving the quality of the nation’s waters since its enactment on October 18, 1972. This important Act provides the framework for regulating pollutant discharges, setting water quality standards, maintaining drinking water standards, providing funds for water infrastructure, and for monitoring, restoration and protection activities, among many other core elements.
