This article discusses the need for a new water policy for the U.S. based upon total management of water resources instead of the establishment and enforcement of standards or the perpetuation of the present regulatory system of pollution control. Improvements to wastewater management and to standards for pesticides and esthetics must be considered in the new water policy.
