Water Quality in the UK: The Impact of the European Union

Abstract: A 12 page overview of the myriad of considerations which have gone into revising water quality laws in the United Kingdom. Given the close ties between EU directive and UK law, it becomes impossible to understand the latter without considering the former. Unfortunately, EU policies in themselves have not enjoyed tremendous success in curbing the rampant pollution which exists throughout Europe. This is true for other member nations as well as for the UK. Although there has been some improvement since the implementation of new environmental laws in the UK, water pollution remains a considerable concern. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
