What Does CWA Stand For?
CWA stands for Clean Water Act
The Clean Water Act (CWA) is a key United States federal law established to regulate the discharge of pollutants into the nation's waters, including rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Enacted in 1972, the CWA aims to maintain and restore the integrity of the country's water resources by setting quality standards, regulating point source pollution, and promoting the protection of aquatic ecosystems. The Act empowers federal and state authorities to enforce compliance, ensuring safe and clean water for public health and environmental sustainability.
