Mississippi River Water Quality and the Clean Water Act

Book Description
The Mississippi River is, in many ways, the nation's best known and most important river system. Mississippi River water quality is of paramount importance for sustaining the many uses of the river including drinking water, recreational and commercial activities, and support for the river's ecosystems and the environmental goods and services they provide. The Clean Water Act, passed by Congress in 1972, is the cornerstone of surface water quality protection in the United States, employing regulatory and nonregulatory measures designed to reduce direct pollutant discharges into waterways. The Clean Water Act has reduced much pollution in the Mississippi River from "point sources" such as industries and water treatment plants, but problems stemming from urban runoff, agriculture, and other "non-point sources" have proven more difficult to address. This book concludes that too little coordination among the 10 states along the river has left the Mississippi River an "orphan" from a water quality monitoring and assessment perspective. Stronger leadership from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is needed to address these problems. Specifically, the EPA should establish a water quality data-sharing system for the length of the river, and work with the states to establish and achieve water quality standards. The Mississippi River corridor states also should be more proactive and cooperative in their water quality programs. For this effort, the EPA and the Mississippi River states should draw upon the lengthy experience of federal-interstate cooperation in managing water quality in the Chesapeake Bay.

Book Description
Excerpt from Methods of Improving the Mississippi River: Thesis for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Illinois The Mississippi River, on account of its easy navigation, the many fine rivers that flow into it, and the fruitfullness of the country on each side of it, is the chief of all the rivers in the United States. It rises among a number of small lakes in Minnesota and flows almost due south, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. The casin of the river consists of nearly all the land in the United States between the Allegheny and the Rocky mountains, which contains approximately one and one quarter million of square acres, or about 41 percent of the entire land area in the United States. The characteristic features of the river are the succession of long, sweeping bends and straight reaches separating them, and the great amount of silt carried by its Waters. Some of the largest tributaries are the Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Arkansas, and Red rivers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
