Both the U.S. Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Journal of Environmental Quality (JEQ) trace back to 1972. The journal has a strong history of publishing science in support of the CWA, from basic science used to develop best management practices to address water quality problems to special sections on hot issues of the day and publishing long-term data that provide evidence of success. The objective of this article is to provide a brief overview of how JEQ has provided a publication outlet for researchers involved in efforts focused on key CWA issues and to introduce a special section celebrating the golden anniversary of this blue policy. The special section includes papers that look back historically on biosolids research that began with the advent of the CWA as well as a forward-looking paper encouraging readers to think about the implications of the ubiquitous use of lithium-ion batteries and a call to action before tangible problems are realized.
美国清洁水法案（CWA）和《环境质量杂志》（JEQ）均可追溯到 1972 年。该杂志在支持 CWA 方面发表科学文献的历史悠久，从用于制定最佳管理实践以解决水质问题的基础科学，到针对当前热点问题的特别栏目，再到发布提供成功证据的长期数据。本文的目的是简要概述 JEQ 如何为专注于 CWA 关键问题的研究人员提供了一个出版渠道，并介绍一个特别栏目，以庆祝这一蓝色政策的 50 周年。该特别栏目包括回顾随着 CWA 出现而开始的生物固体研究的历史性论文，以及一篇前瞻性论文，鼓励读者思考无处不在的锂离子电池的影响，并在意识到实际问题之前呼吁采取行动。
