U.S. EPA Unveils “How’s My Waterway?” Website

A new U.S. EPA website translates highly technical data from its databases into more user-friendly information regarding the quality of lakes and rivers. The website reports on whether a body of water has been assessed, if it’s polluted, and if it is, what’s causing the pollution and what’s being done to clean it up. Users can also access technical reports, as well as links to related sites on topics such as drinking water, beaches, and fishing. Visit this U.S. EPA website.
