From the Great Lakes that define our state to our 11,000 inland lakes or thousands of miles of rivers, Michigan’s water is what makes our state great. Unfortunately, our waterways face serious threats from pollution and irresponsible siphoning for large-scale use. As a result, fish advisories warn us to limit the amount of fish we eat, beaches are often closed because it is not safe to swim, and streams and residential wells near large-scale water users are going dry. Environment Michigan is working to address these problems and give Michigan families the clean water they deserve.
