This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed small community water systems' compliance with drinking water regulations, focusing on: (1) cost-effective and alternative management approaches for improving small water systems' regulation compliance; (2) the barriers that prevent the effective use of these alternative approaches; and (3) the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efforts to remove any barriers and promote alternative approaches at the national level. GAO found that: (1) state efforts to improve small community water systems' compliance with safe drinking water standards include developing technology- and management-based alternative strategies, determining whether alternatives are cost-effective, testing ways to provide technical and financial assistance to small systems, and exploring small system restructuring options; (2) barriers that prevent states from using alternative strategies include the high cost and complexity of some treatment technologies and the lack of cost and performance data necessary to assess alternative technologies and identify nonviable water systems to ensure they comply with drinking water standards; (3) although EPA supports states' consolidation of nonviable water systems, its drinking water grant formula provides a disincentive for consolidating water systems; (4) EPA efforts to address the barriers include field testing alternative treatment technologies, improving state technical and managerial capabilities, revising state grant allocation methods, and recommending that states develop viability programs; and (5) EPA needs to revise its drinking water program priorities to emphasize the development and implementation of viability programs, work with Congress to ensure that its proposed requirement is accompanied by a realistic funding strategy, and eliminate disincentives for consolidating water systems.

This book was released on 1997-01-13 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small communities violate federal requirements for safe drinking water as much as three times more often than cities. Yet these communities often cannot afford to improve their water service. Safe Water From Every Tap reviews the risks of violating drinking water standards and discusses options for improving water service in small communities. Included are detailed reviews of a wide range of technologies appropriate for treating drinking water in small communities. The book also presents a variety of institutional options for improving the management efficiency and financial stability of water systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continued lack of access to adequate amounts of safe drinking water is one of the primary causes of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide and a serious situation which governments, international agencies and private organizations are striving to alleviate. Barriers to providing safe drinking water for rural areas and small communities that must be overcome include the financing and stability of small systems, their operation, and appropriate, cost-effective technologies to treat and deliver water to consumers. While we know how to technically produce safe drinking water, we are not always able to achieve sustainable safe water supplies for small systems in developed and developing countries. Everyone wants to move rapidly to reach the goal of universal safe drinking water, because safe water is the most fundamental essential element for personal and social health and welfare. Without safe water and a safe environment, sustained personal economic and cultural development is impossible. Often small rural systems are the last in the opportunity line. Safe Drinking Water in Small Systems describes feasible technologies, operating procedures, management, and financing opportunities to alleviate problems faced by small water systems in both developed and developing countries. In addition to widely used traditional technologies this reference presents emerging technologies and non-traditional approaches to water treatment, management, sources of energy, and the delivery of safe water.
Download or read book Drinking Water written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed issues surrounding the reauthorization of the Safe Drinking Water Act. GAO noted that: (1) state strategies to help water systems comply with the act include water system operator certification and training, comprehensive water system inspections, sanitary surveys, water source protection, approving of alternative technologies suitable for small water systems, and determining systems' viability and restructuring needs; (2) because of state funding limitations, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has helped states prioritize program goals and has given states 5 years to comply with all program requirements; (3) this strategy has forced states to pursue national priorities while curtailing traditional quality assurance activities; (4) EPA has revised its guidance to make more effective use of available funding and has initiated an effort to reevaluate and streamline drinking water regulations; (5) although setting up state revolving funds (SRF) for safe drinking water projects is a more efficient government investment method, it will not close the funding gap; (6) land purchase restrictions, relatively short loan periods, and competition for and repayment of loans make it difficult for smaller communities to participate in the SRF program; and (7) proposed legislation would increase funding for state water systems and eliminate requirements for additional contaminant standards.
