Abstract
The paper traces the evolution of Federal water pollution control from the turn of the century to the landmark 1972 legislation and the construction grants program. It describes the growth of the program, its redirection toward the States with the 1977 amendments, and the further acceleration of this direction with the 1981 amendments. The paper recounts the successes and the problems of the construction grants program and looks at its probable future direction as the Federal role phases into one of overview and the States assume management of their own programs.
