September 1975
UT Professor Gus Fruh calls for a new standard for water quality in Barton Creek. Fruh asserts that aesthetic standards are insufficient and water should be clean enough for human contact.
I believe how a man uses his land is his right, but society that is being affected by how a man uses his land also has a right.
— Gus Fruh, University of Texas Professor of Civil Engineering
