The Clean Water Act Sample Clauses

The Clean Water Act is a federal law designed to regulate the discharge of pollutants into the waters of the United States and to set quality standards for surface waters. In practice, it requires industries and municipalities to obtain permits before releasing wastewater or other contaminants into rivers, lakes, or streams, and it establishes guidelines for water quality monitoring and enforcement. The core function of the Clean Water Act is to protect public health and the environment by ensuring that water resources remain clean and safe, thereby addressing the problem of water pollution and its harmful effects.
