Extract

Communities across the country are faced with the legal requirements to reduce water pollution from domestic and industrial wastes discharged into streams and rivers. Approximately 7½ billion gallons of wastewater were produced daily in the United States in 1972. This volume is estimated to quadruple over the next 50 years.
