Importance of Clean Water Act
The Clean Water Act of 1972 prioritized safe drinking water as well as the protection of all life. It not only considered the impact of contaminated water on human health, but ecological health, too. With healthier water, our planet has healthier wildlife like fish and plants. We eat these organisms, and if they are living in contaminated waters then we are also impacted. The Clean Water Act was also considerate of increasing fresh water resources and helped regulate industry standards/actions on water management and pollution. Overall the Clean Water Act has held significant public health importance on the quality and protection of life.

Hey Angela,
ReplyDeleteThe Clean Water Act of 1972 was definitely a monumental for public health in the history of the United States for the modern era, and it was great that it was also able to help out ecological health as well. Hopefully, more acts similar to this occurs in the recent future to keep improving public health.
