Program: The Iowa Journal #158
Broadcast Date: May. 15, 2008
In 1972, the federal government enacted the Clean Water Act to eliminate or reduce pollution of interstate waterways and tributaries. They did this to help improve sanitary conditions of surface and underground waters.
More than thirty years later, Iowa is still dealing with this issue. Why is it taking so long? Just how much has the state accomplished and how much more work is needed? While some cities and towns are upgrading their sewage treatment and discharging cleaner water into streams, what about the pollution added downstream?
To help us find the answers to these questions we have with us Susan Heathcote, with the Iowa Environmental Council and Wayne Gieselman, Environmental Services Division Iowa DNR.
