need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

The Clean Water Act aims to regulate water pollution. Reducing point source pollution (like industrial discharges from specific points) is a focus. Improving surface - water quality (e.g., rivers, lakes) is a key goal. Creating better sanitation for sewage processing/discharge helps reduce water pollution. However, it does not focus on the amount of water people withdraw (that's more related to water use regulations like the Safe Drinking Water Act or water allocation laws, not the Clean Water Act's pollution - focused goals).

Answer:

A. reducing point source pollution
B. improving surface - water quality
D. creating better sanitation requirements for sewage processing and discharge
