SEATTLE — Tonight, a lecture on water pollution by Hedrick Smith, winner of a Pulitzer Prize and former reporter for the New York Times, will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the University of Washington in Kane Hall.
When the Clean Water Act passed in 1972, the focus was on big industrial polluters such as chemical plants and steel mills. Smith says today the problems have changed and scientists point to stormwater runoff as the largest source of waste flowing into Puget Sound and other waters.
