Clean Water Act Technically, the name of the law is the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.[1] The first FWPCA was enacted in 1948, but took on its modern form when completely rewritten in 1972 in an act entitled the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.[2] Major changes have subsequently been introduced via amendatory legislation including the Clean Water Act of 1977[3] and the Water Quality Act of 1987.[4]
