A NWC panel evaluated the problems and recommended a plan for nationwide abatement of water pollution during a 10‐yr period. Its proposal is based upon a facilities‐planning effort to identify the most economical solutions, a federal construction‐grant program to end in 10 yr, and placing management of public systems on a utility basis with self‐financing after the 10‐yr period—at which time federal subsidies would end.
