The publication summarizes the comprehensive water pollution control program for the humboldt river and central Nevada basins, developed by the Nevada State Health Department, Division of Public Health Engineering. The program is sound and gives full consideration to the several present uses and to the reasonably-anticipated future uses of the waters of the Humboldt River and Central Nevada Basins. It provides an equitable balance in the pollution control requirements for the various private and public groups concerned. (Author Modified Abstract)
