Who springs for water?

Article Abstract:

The Future Studies Group of EPA held a two day workshop in 1992 to discuss factors that will impact municipal water services in the future. In 1994 the EPA used the list of factors to generate a report for the prospective shape of the municipal water systems in the year 2010. The report faces two uncertainties regarding the federal government's role in water management and the financial environment. This reveals four scenarios, mandate scenario, the off market scenario, the apocalypse, and the seeking camelot scenario. Despite the uncertainties, the Safe Drinking Water Act is unlikely to be affected.

A Civil Engineering's reader survey indicates that the readers span a wide range of ages, with the majority being under the age of 40. They are working for government agencies, academics, contractor and industrial firms, with a majority working for consulting engineering firms. They read it to keep a track of information related to general engineering and to technological innovations. The magazine's content enjoys a higher than average rating. However, many readers feel that the magazine's content is unrelated to their specific area of specialisation.
