The society gets results with a simple principle: he who pollutes the waters must pay the cost of purification. Carefully calculated assessments have enabled the Verband to build 102 purification plants since 1948, and encourage members to clean up their own wastes. The Ruhr's steel industry has installed water-circulation systems in its plants to use the same water over and over again. As a result, the plants now draw only 2.6 cubic yards of water...
