Abstract |
In summary, there is presented as a rational basis for water pollution control the 'total use' concept in which all legitimate water uses receive recognition in an integrated totality with each use accorded its proper emphasis in the public interest. The use of this concept requires a primary emphasis on the stream itself and it would appear that the technical questions involved insofar as industrial wastes are concerned, can best be resolved by an active and understanding cooperation between industry and control agencies.
