Minnesota's Water
From Minnesota has 2,669 troubled bodies of water, draft list says:
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is proposing to add more lakes and streams to the state's list of impaired waters.
As the MPCA continues testing water bodies across the state, more are being added to the list due to water quality problems such as excess nutrients, mercury, salt and bacteria.
