It wasn't until 1947 that California authorized the creation of Air Pollution Control Districts in every county of the state.

Rural water supply in India has been a private initiative from time immemorial and formed an important component of the ruler’s duty towards his subjects. The Environment Hygiene Committee (1948-49) recommended a plan of action to provide water supply and sanitation facilities to 90 percent of the population of the country. This culminated in the National Water Supply and Sanitation Programme in 1954. Over the last five decades thus, there has been a significant growth in percentage allocation of fund to the rural water supply and sanitation sector especially in comparison with outlay on urban water supply and sanitation over the same period of time.
