Rivers SOS: Loss in Court Challenge to Metropolitan Collieries

I simply wanted to leave a comment and couldn't find a location to do that.

I know that sharing misery is not necessarily always helpful, but, I wanted to let you know that we in the US have water quality legislation that only covers 90 of the more than 60,000 chemicals that have been identified over time as being in our drinking water.

For example, in any major metropolitan area in the US, several of more than 50 pharmaceutical byproducts will be found in the water.  Also, since only 90 chemicals are being tested for, any number of toxins including many agricultural pesticide runoffs are found in most areas of the Country.

So, in many ways, fighting for water purity is important.

But at the same time, acid rain kills trees in the deep forests, and fish die in wildlife preserves.

There just isn't any way to get away from the activities of man as he attempts to tame the planet and provide a living for his family.

I would appreciate this comment being placed somewhere where it is logical for it to appear.

Warm regards from the US.
