Water
Welcome to the EPA Region 7 Water page.
Our Water Division implements programs to protect human health and the
environment by preventing and reducing contamination of Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri, and Nebraska's surface and ground water. Authority was given
to EPA to regulate surface and ground water by the 1987 amendments to
the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the 1986 amendments to the Safe Drinking
Water Act (SDWA). For information on a program click one of the links
below. To learn more about the watershed you live in, visit EPA's Surf
Your Watershed site. Or you can visit EPA's Office
of Water home page.
