Mississippi River Water Quality and the Clean Water Act
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309177812
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 252
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.

Garner's Law of Sewers and Drains
Author: Stephen Bailey
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780721905846
Category : Drainage laws
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
The law relating to sewers and drains is one of the most obscure and complex in the Statute Book. This is the only publication that has set out to explain it and to extract from it a set of harmonious principles. In so doing, it approaches the subject in a clear and straightforward manner, and draws particular attention to matters of practical difficulty. This new edition takes account of the large number of legislative changes and developments in case law. These include the provisions of the Water Act 2003 that will reshape arrangements for regulation of the water industry and extend the responsibility of sewerage undertakers for lateral drains; and important case law on such topics as the right to the public provision of a sewer, offences relating to the pollution of controlled waters, the application of the common law of nuisance and the Human Rights Act 1998 to flooding from sewers, and the application of the law relating to statutory nuisances. The title of the ninth edition has been amended to include the name of the book's creator, the late Professor Jack Garner, who compiled each previous edition.
