Imagine this… muddy water, fish dying, and smelly lakes. Yup. These were the descriptions of the U.S’s waterways before 1972. We were in serious trouble. Some waterways became wasteland of smelly water and floating sludge. All over the country people were troubled about how we employ water and they let the government know. The effect was the Water Act of 1972 and its goals of making water "fishable and swimmable."
In 1972, Congress passed a law called The Water Act of 1972 to help protect and restore the lakes, seas and rivers of the U.S. The goals of the Water Act of 1972 were quite straightforward. Water should be clean as much as necessary for fishing, swimming and other entertaining uses. Releasing of toxic waste was to be sooner or later
