Question
What clean water regulation do you think has had the greatest impact on water quality in the United States? In a 3–5 sentences, explain and justify your opinion.(4 points)
In my opinion, the Clean Water Act has had the greatest impact on water quality in the United States. This regulation, passed in 1972, established important standards for water pollution control and set limits on pollutants discharged into water bodies. It also led to the creation of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, which regulates industrial and municipal wastewater discharges. The Clean Water Act has been instrumental in reducing pollution and improving the quality of our water resources, making it the most impactful regulation in this regard.

Responses
reverse osmosis
reverse osmosis
distillation
distillation
chlorination
chlorination
ultraviolet radiation
The water filtration method that requires the use of a membrane or filter is reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis involves forcing water through a semipermeable membrane to remove impurities and contaminants. Distillation, on the other hand, involves the process of heating water to create steam and then condensing the steam to obtain purified water. Chlorination and ultraviolet radiation are disinfection methods and do not require the use of a membrane or filter for filtration.
so what's the answer
The correct answer is reverse osmosis.
