Essay / Research Paper 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.

in 1993 with the Maastricht Treaty (Jordan, 1998). Given the close ties between EU directive and UK law, it becomes impossible to understand the latter without considering the former
(Jordan, 1998). 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.
The U.K. has a long road ahead in terms of bringing their waterbodies within acceptable water quality ranges. Water quality
management is particularly concerning in the UK in that water pollution impacts, and is impacted by, human populations possibly more so than any other type of pollution. Humans depend
on water both directly and indirectly for their sustenance. Clean water is important not only from the standpoint of the integrity of natural areas, therefore, but also from
a human health standpoint. Indeed, our modern lives require a tremendous amount of clean water. Groves (2002) reports that the average individual in the UK uses around 155
litters of water daily, seventy percent more than the amount used thirty years ago. In fact, all of life depends on water. Polluted waterbodies therefore are of tremendous
