Abstract Details

2006, Master of Public Administration, University of Akron, Public Administration.
Historically, water pollution abatement policies are relatively new in the United States. Early efforts focused on maintaining the well-being of our nation’s waterways for economic purposes. However, a series of events occurred in the 1950s and 1960s that moved our nation towards environmental policies that sought to balance economic and welfare concerns, resulting in the Clean Water Act. Initially, the Clean Water Act focused on reducing point sources of water pollution. It quickly became apparent that these efforts did not meet the goals of the Clean Water Act. As such, the national government increasingly concentrated on the role nonpoint sources of pollution played in the continued impairment of our nation’ water systems. This focus, while necessary, often leaves much of the implementation process of national nonpoint source pollution policies in the hands of the states, which has frustrated our ability to successfully abate nonpoint pollutants.
