Abstract
The recent change in the Federal water quality regional organization, whereby regions are now being regrouped with state rather than river basin boundaries, may have considerable policy implications.

At the present time there is a distinct dichotomy between attitudes toward pollution control at the Federal and local levels, with the state caught uncomfortably in the middle.
