Description

Despite decades of progress in cleaning up water pollution, hundreds of Minnesota’s lakes, rivers and streams still cannot meet basic human needs or sustain healthy aquatic communities. These “impaired” waters do not meet water-quality standards and pose risks to people, aquatic life, and recreation. Problems associated with impaired waters are not limited to Minnesota. Citizens and governments are wrestling with this issue across the United States.
