1948 is when Federal Water Pollution Control Act (F.W.P.C.A.) happened. A law was passed that gave more control to federal government power to pass pollution laws for the states. This made pollution get better. Then in 1972 change of enforcement happened. They started to pay more attention to point sources polluting. Now more pollution is happening because the government is paying less attention to how much pollution is getting into the water. The government is paying more attention to were its coming from. While that was going on the state gov. was now allowed to pass pollution laws.
