Insufficent Data
The Environmental Protection Agency found that 40% of the nation’s
assessed waterways remain too polluted for fishing and swimming.
Over 290,000 miles of 840,000 miles of assessed rivers and streams
do not meet water quality standards. Nearly half of all lakes,
reservoirs, and ponds assessed half of them are polluted.
