CHAPTER 1
NO SOLUTIONS REQUIRED
CHAPTER 2
WATER RESOURCES PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT
2.1 The Internet is an excellent source of information on this topic. The level of integrated
water resources management varies by state.
2.2 Virtually all of the laws listed in Table 2.1 provide some protection for preventing and
controlling water pollution. Information on each law may be found on the Internet. It is
also important to note that the EPA only regulates at the Federal level and much of the
cleanup and protection is now delegated to states and local governments.
2.3 Point source pollution = Pollution that originates at one location with discrete discharge
points. Typical examples include industrial and wastewater treatment facilities.
Nonpoint source pollution = Pollution that is usually input into the environment in a
dispersed manner. Typical examples include stormwater runoff that contains fertilizers,
pesticides, herbicides, oils, grease, bacteria, viruses, and salts.
2.4 Adverse health effects of toxic pollutants are numerous and can include a variety of
conditions. Some pollutant-related conditions include asthma, nausea, and various
cancers—among many others.
2.5 Agencies that are responsible for water quantity and quality significantly vary by state.
2.6 This is a subjective question and one that has been and will continue to be debated in the
water resources community.
2.7 Integrated water resources management is difficult to achieve because it involves both a
financial and resources investment over time. It is also important to obtain concensus on
this approach from all of the involved stakeholders. This difficulty is perhaps why there
are so few examples of true integrated water resources management.
2.8 This question is subjective but the student should research specific examples to support
their argument.
