The year 2002 is being celebrated as the Year of Clean Water. Thirty years ago, on Oct. 18, 1979, the Clean Water Act became law, its passage representing a milestone in the efforts to protect our nation's water resources. The CWA set the goal of restoring and maintaining the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters. Much has been accomplished, and much remains to be done.
