This week marks the 40th anniversary of one of America’s
landmark environmental bills, the Clean Water Act (CWA). In 1972, Democrats and
Republicans alike supported the passage of this bill as citizens across this
country were outraged at the gross and rampant pollution that was spreading
through our waterways. While most of our national attention focuses on the
upcoming elections, I hope that our leaders in DC remember that nothing is more
essential to our health, economy, and quality of life than clean water.
Read more here about what the CWA has achieved over the last
four decades and the challenges we face going forward.
