Iowa DNR Reports Many Lakes, Streams, Rivers Are Impaired

A list released by the Department of Natural Resources finds 750 lakes, streams, or rivers tested in Iowa are officially impaired.  That means they don’t meet water quality standards for at least one intended use.  More than 60-percent of the bodies of water tested were deficient.  A spokesperson for the Iowa Environmental Council says the analysis shows that the state’s current approach to water quality isn’t working.
