The third Japanese water issue is that the price for tap water has risen up in recent years. The main cause is the decline of population in Japan. The infrastructures in Japan that delivers drinking water to homes and processes the drinking water are superannuated in many places. However, local water supply agents do not have enough money to maintain and repair these water facilities and water treatment facilities because revenues have been dropping in recent years due to loss of water users.…
Assessment Having an established quality management plan is essential to maintaining a reputable product. Having firmly established quality standards gives the project a line in the sand to which it should never cross.

After the first few weeks of clinic, I feel very lucky for the experiences that I’ve had so far. I came to clinic without any working experience in environmental law. Instead, I brought a strong interest that has slowly been building since taking urban planning and environmental classes in college and then finding the legal issues presented in property and water law even more so. One thing that I did not bring though was an informed appreciation for just how complicated these issues were. Issues…
the quality control, however, my operational objective was merely to finish my tasks: subjectively check the quality, record the number of deficits and time, leave some comments, and pass houses to the material handler.

Even though the factories were dumping waste into the river, the residents were still using the water for its supply until 1967 when an EPA study showed that Flint’s water supply was poor. The water’s quality didn’t approve over the years to follow. From studies…
Clean Water Rule (CWR), as it makes amendments to the Act and implements a different way of thinking about our water supply. The Clean Water Act was produced as a means for the EPA to implement pollution control programs alongside setting water quality standards for all contaminants in surface waters. This definition of what is to be considered “surface water” or as it is put in the CWA, the “waters of the United States, is the key point to the CWR that many states and the people behind them…
auditor firms’ performances and their quality control systems regularly to make sure they follow the standards that the PCAOB set up. For the auditors of public companies, the PCAOB implements a risk-based approach to assess audit engagements. The inspection uses high-risk samples to evaluate an auditing firm instead of random samples. There are some criticisms about this risk-based approach. For example, this method may not represent a firm’s average audit quality since it focusses on some…
