Water Programs Not Spared in Tramp Administration EPA Budget

摘要

Water did not emerge from the President's first official budget request unscathed, with several EPA water programs up for large cuts or even elimination. The White House is calling for a 30 percent cut in grants that help states comply with federal drinking water standards and a complete elimination of grants for preventing agriculture-related water pollution. It also wants to zero out funding for a homeland security program that helps water systems protect against cyberattacks and other threats.
