lean Water Fund is working locally, statewide as well as nationally to protect our water sources. The founder and president of Clean Water Fund, David Zwick, was a driving force in the creation of the Federal Clean Water Act in 1972. This week we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the passage of this landmark legislation. The Clean Water Act has helped clean up waterways all over the United States by setting uniform minimum standards of protection that all states must abide by. The Clean Water Act sets standards for pollution discharges into our rivers, lakes and streams, many of which are the sources of our drinking water.

mplementation of the Clean Water Act has made our waterways in the US cleaner, but we still have a long way to go to attain the stated goal of the law "that the discharge of pollutants into navigable waters be eliminated" and "the discharge of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts be prohibited." Clean Water Fund continues to do research and educate citizens and policy makers so we can stop pollution and leave our children cleaner, healthier rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands, coastal waters and drinking water supplies.
