Description
From 1976 to 1990, WHO and Environment Canada published the highly successful Water Quality Bulletin. It is ironic that the success of the Bulletin was also the reason for its demise. Indeed, it grew from 10 to more than 50 pages per issue in its almost 15 years of uninterrupted free distribution to 120 countries. The sponsoring agencies believed it was important that they continue to distribute a free publication, but could not cover the escalating publishing costs by charging subscriber fees. As a result, in 1990 the Bulletin was converted into the GEMS/Water Quality Newsletter, a four-page document that was published twice a year. It ceased publication in 1994.
