Regional planning as an approach to pollution control

THIS SUBJECT IS THE FOCUS OF CHAPTER 2 OF "INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION CONTROL, TECHNOLOGICAL STRATEGIES" WHICH DESCRIBES THE EFFECTS AND CONTROL OF INDUSTRIAL DISCHARGES, AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL AIR AND WATER POLLUTANTS. THE PROBLEM FACING REGIONAL PLANNERS IS TO DESIGN A SYSTEM TO ENCOMPASS AIR AND WATER USE, WATER RESIDUE MANAGEMENT, TREATMENT, AND DISCHARGE FOR ALL INDUSTRIAL, AGRICULTURAL, AND MUNICIPAL ACTIVITIES IN ORDER TO SUPPLY CONSUMERS WITH QUALITY AIR AND WATER AND TO MEET SANITARY AND ECOLOGICAL LIMITATIONS. THIS CHAPTER DISCUSSES AIR AND WATERSHED BASINS; GENERAL REGIONAL PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS; APPROACHES TO INDUSTRIAL ZONING; INTER-RELATED PROBLEMS OF WATER SUPPLY, INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND WASTEWATER DISCHARGES; THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY FOR INDUSTRIAL SITING; AND BASIC REGIONAL CHARACTERISTICS WHICH MAY AFFECT INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION.
