Water Pollution Control by Interstate Cooperation: A Symposium: Introduction
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 116, Issue 1
Abstract
Within the United States, three methods have been devised for controlling the pollution of interstate waters. They are: (1) Control by interstate agreements without enforcement authority; (2) control by reciprocal legislative agreements; and (3) control by interstate pollution compacts approved by Congress. Of these measures, the interstate agreements that do not provide for enforcement are the oldest, the Great Lakes Drainage Basin Sanitation Agreement dating back to 1928. By these agreements, of which.there were three in 1948, the signatory states pledge themselves to cooperate with each other in regulating the pollution of streams whose waters they share. The present Symposium does not include a paper on this type of pollution abatement.
