摘要

It is the reason that New York City is buying land in rural areas far from the city; that farmers in upstate New York are changing the way they raise cattle; that Catskills residents are repairing their septic systems; and that dozens of wastewater treatment plant owners are upgrading their plants to tertiary treatment. These diverse actions are all part of a carefully planned effort to protect the quality of New York City's drinking water.
