§ 13143 Water Quality Policy Review

• •The rules about keeping water clean can change over time.
• •The government checks these rules often to make sure they are still good.
• •If the rules need to be better, they can be updated.

Imagine a river where people fish and swim. Over time, factories and farms near the river might start using new things that could make the water dirty.

The government will check the rules about keeping the river clean. If the old rules don’t stop the new dirt, they can change the rules to protect the water.
