Which of these are covered under the Clean Water Act? Check all of the boxes that apply. rain rivers lakes oceans groundwater wetlands

lakes - oceans - wetlands - rivers

Explanation:

The Clean Water Act CWA is the cornerstone in protecting the quality of surface waters in the United States. The law does not deal directly with groundwater or issues related to the amount of water. Some states have chosen to develop groundwater quality standards (referred to in the section entitled Introduction to Water Quality Standards - WQS) or water quality standards that specifically address water flows. The statute employs various regulatory and non-regulatory tools to rapidly reduce direct discharges of pollutants in navigable waterways, establish ambient water quality standards, finance facilities for municipal wastewater treatment, and administer contaminated run-off.

The correct answers would be lakes, rivers, oceans, and wetlands.
