Abstract
Today’s most pressing water quality problems tend to be characterized by system complexity, data gaps, high remedial costs, uncertainty as to the effectiveness of various remedies, and the intertwining of environmental and political agendas. Each of these issues becomes more difficult to manage when an environmental problem crosses state lines. Once these specific difficulties are recognized, however, approaches can be designed to reduce their influence and make it easier to resolve an interjurisdictional water quality dispute.
