Quality of America's Lakes

As required by Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act, EPA transmits to Congress the National Water Quality Inventory Report (305(b) Report). Based on water quality information submitted by States, Tribes, and Territories, including information on lakes, this document characterizes our water quality, identifies widespread water quality problems, and describes various programs implemented to restore and protect our waters.
