This article describes the hydrologic parameters involved in storage and transport of freshwater. Water quality management standards, including EPA specified pollutants are identified. Treatment and techniques to control pollution include in‐plant waste control, minimization separations, adsorption, removal of heavy metals and toxic organics are given.
