Beschreibung

"This book is a substantial revision and extension of a 1964 volume The Economics of Regional Water Quality Management In the four years since its publication . [t]wo laws of major national significance have been passed -- the Water Quality Act of 1965 and The Clean Water Restoration Act of 1966. Both laws emphasize federal government enforcement action against waste discharges, coupled with subsidies for the construction of municipal waste treatment works, as the major thrust of federal policy. The 1965 act also requires that each state set water quality standards for its interstate and boundary waters. This requirement raises the question of what the rational basis for a particular standard or set of standards may be - one of the matters we examine in this book." [Preface and Acknowledgments] The Part headings are: Nature of the Water Quality Problem; Economic Concepts and Policies for Controlling Individual Waste Discharges; Economic Concepts Relating to Regional Water Quality Management Systems with Collective Facilities; Institutional and Organizational Approaches to Regional Water Quality Management; and Implementation and Management. 328 pages, with tables, figures, and Index; plus x [10] pages prefatory matter.
