Cities and water pollution: An historical and geographic perspective

Article Abstract:

The study is conducted on a set of historical records to show that there was considerable geographic and temporal variation in the instrumental approach to urban water pollution control in the country. Both early nuisance law suits and early federal enforcements bypassed the country's urban-industrial core, yet outside the region with the greatest concentration of urban population and industrial discharges, the instrumental perspective was less pronounced exposing geographic and temporal variation in the development of both state and federal pollution policy.
