There's nothing like it. It's vital to your health and to the health of ecosystems. Some clear talk about water protection on today's EnvironMinute. This set of federal laws sets standards for clean, safe drinking water for over 200,000 public water systems. The Act requires the states to make sure that water sources stay safe, health, and clean.
State agencies monitor water quality and track the contaminants and pollution.
These reports are available to the public and to other state and federal agencies. If you want to find out about the water quality in a lake, river, wetland, reservoir, or underground water supply near you, contact your local or state water agency. The EnvironMinute is produced in cooperation with the National Safety Council and made possible by the Teresa and H. John Heinz III Foundation.
