EPA Updates 'How's My Waterway' website

With EPA's updated version of the How's My Waterway website, users can check the water quality of U.S. lakes, rivers and streams. The online tools use GPS technology or a zip code or city name provided by the user to provide quality information. EPA reports the new version includes data on local water drinking sources, watersheds and efforts to protect waterways. It also provides a map-oriented version that is designed for touch screens, museum kiosks and displays.

The agency will host a free public webinar on Wednesday, April 23, 2014, at 2 p.m. (EDT) to explain the new features.
