National Water-Quality Assessment Program
Lake Erie-Lake St. Clair Basins

The Lake Erie-Lake St. Clair Basins in Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania is one of more than 50 study units that are part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. The long-term goals of this program are to describe the status and trends in the quality of a large, representative part of the Nation's surface- and ground-water resources, and to provide a sound, scientific understanding of the primary factors affecting the quality of these resources.
