"Wastes from our homes, factories, farms, boats and numerous other sources are reducing our supplies of useable use-able water. First we must invest in-vest more money in city and industrial water treatment plants. Second, we need more research to find better ways to treat water so that it can be re-used to meet our growing grow-ing needs. Finally, we must support strong anti-pollution laws for our rivers, streams and lakes."
