The New England philosophy regarding watershed protection has centered around the precept that drinking water sources should be of the highest quality possible and that every effort should be made to protect such sources from degradation. This has been a fortunate approach because tew of the surface water supplies in the New England area are subject to municipal or industrial waste discharge, a practice that has become the rule rather than the exception in many parts of the United States.
