Description: Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act requires states to assess the condition of the Waters of the US. The Kentucky Division of Water, in cooperation with other agencies, collects biological and water quality data to assess the condition of the resource and reports this to Congress every two years in the Integrated Report to Congress. (http://www.water.ky.gov/sw/swmonitor/305b/) These data represent the assessment results for surface waters of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
