Our Rivers, Lakes And Streams in brief
The Great Lakes. The Mississippi. The Colorado. Chesapeake Bay. The
Everglades. America's rivers, lakes, bays, harbors, estuaries and
wetlands are essential to our health, our quality of life and our
natural heritage. Under the Clean Water Act, we've made progress in
protecting and preserving our waters. Yet new threats, including
reckless development and highly toxic chemicals, call for renewed
vigilance and action. Environment America opposes any efforts by powerful developers and other
polluters to weaken the Clean Water Act. We support efforts,
local, state and federal, to ensure clean and safe water supplies for all
Americans.
