“Neither water treatment nor waste treatment can be a satisfactory remedy for pollution of our watercourses by pesticide sprays or by salt used for melting snow and ice on our highways. These materials must be controlled at their point of use, because they are damaging to land, plants and animals, as well as to water. Similarly, excess soil erosion cannot be abated by water or waste water treatment. Better land use is needed. In water quality problems, the whole environment must be examined.”
