Abstract
The various sources of stream pollution are so well known that it is unnecessary to describe them in any considerable detail to an association like this. The effect of stream pollution, so far as the sanitary questions involved are concerned, may be considered from two points of view: 1, the use of the stream as a source of water supply; and, 2. the influence of its condition on the health and comfort of those living in its neighborhood. It is not the purpose of this paper to consider the pollution of streams and its prevention from the point of view of their use as sources of public water supply.
