Unit 8 DB: Local Water Pollution (ENV110 – Exploring Environmental Issues)

Identify sources of water pollution in a local body of water.  If you can visit the location, please upload a picture of the body of water and/or the possible sources of contamination, or find an image online.  This could be as large as local factories polluting a local bay, or as small as road debris affecting a small stream.  Get out there and do some detective work!  Describe the Clean Water Act and how it could potentially reduce commercial water pollution.
