The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.

Considerable disagreement exists among concerned officials, engineers, and researchers about future annual river flows, while questions on the severity and timing of the water shortage remain unanswered. Most plans and programs of the Bureau of Reclamation appear to be based on optimistic estimates of the annual water supply. Programs for water salvage and augmentation have been canceled or have had limited success due to environmental consideration, while many conservation programs are failing because of legal and economic constraints. Indian and federal reserved water rights have not been quantified or settled satisfactorily. Procedures for operating basin reservoirs during a shortage are incomplete because the basin states cannot agree on the approach to be taken or the necessity for agreement at this time. Long-term solutions that consider all alternatives will be impossible if the basin water managers wait until a shortage occurs. Much uncertainty exists about the effectiveness and efficiency of the basin's salinity control program. Due to a lack of pre-evaluation, the current project-by-project approach has led to water development which has greatly increased salinity.
