Assessing the TMDL Approach to Water Quality Management

Every human being on Earth is a stakeholder in water quality management. And so, for that matter, is every animal, domesticated or wild, though they have no constituency Water quality includes not only considerations of water composition for multiple human uses such as drinking and irrigation, but also in terms of its capacity to support systems of aquatic biota in general. This is so because we now realize that our well-being is inseparable from the well-being of, say the aquatic biota. If frogs were dying, we would be next in line!
