Professor Andreen: Update Clean Water Act

Professor William Andreen recently told Circle of Blue that the Clean Water Act doesn’t address new water pollution challenges and needs to be updated.

The nation needs to ensure enough water circulates in rivers and streams to support their biological functioning, he said.

“You have no water quality if you have no water, or so little water that nothing can survive in a healthy way, or not enough water that things can spawn the way they normally do in the spring,” he said.
