- Do you think Environmental laws are implemented properly in your Local Government? If YES, please cite situations in which it is properly implemented and cite sections which section it is compliant If NO, discuss a program to make sure your community complies with a section in an environmental law. Cite the RA and the specific section.arrow_forwardThe water engineer aims at prevention contamination of water supplies at all times. In most small water supply systems, however, economic reasons prevent 24-hour daily water service. This creates a risk of polluted water infiltrating into the pipelines through leaks in pipe joints and service taps. How would the water engineer ensure that the pollution do not pose a health risk to domestic consumption? Give example of factors to consider when selecting the material for the pipe.?arrow_forwardBriefly discuss how environmental policy is implemented in the United States.
