Environmental engineering remains inherently multidisciplinary. As a result, we tend frequently to work in teams having members from the other engineering disciplines and also from the applied and social sciences. As our work naturally interfaces between the environment (natural systems) and engineering systems, it follows that environmental engineers work hand-in-hand with biologists, environmental toxicologists, and chemists to unravel multifaceted environmental problems in an effort to secure solutions.
Originally enacted in 1948, it was totally revised by amendments in 1972 that gave the act its current form. The objective of the CWA was to create ambitious programs “to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation’s waters” (§ 101(a)). Goals concerning the health of US waters were established in support of this objective that include a complete elimination of pollutants discharged into navigable waters, the ban of noxious pollutants in toxic amounts, and the control of both point and nonpoint source pollution (§ 101(a)).
Data from Tarr et al. 1 Growth of water distribution, wastewater sewerages and treatment in the USA from 1880 through 1900. , 1980. 2 Miles of sewers and death rates for selected US cities in 1880, 1890, and 1900. , 1980. 1900. 2 also uses data from Tarr et al. to show the relationship between sewerage disposal practices and death rates from typhoid fever. Death rates from typhoid fever did not drop as drastically as expected from the installation of sewer systems but, rather, death rates declined as cities began to use chlorination in treating drinking water.
