| Abstract | What is known as the Clean Water Act (CWA) in the USA, implemented in the early 1970s, can provide some useful lessons for Europe. The CWA has been the key driver in cleaning up watercourses and other water bodies, has encountered a similar range of difficulties and opportunities that are being found across Europe when dealing with stormwater systems. By drawing on the 30 years of historical lessons from the CWA, the EU should be able to avoid many of the problems encountered in the USA for controlling stormwater discharges to deliver improvements in water quality. |
