Report Says Waters in Ozarks Watershed In Missouri, Arkansas Impaired by Runoff

摘要

Water quality in the Ozarks watershed in southwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas is being impaired by human activity and by elevated levels of nutrients and sediment, according to a report released by a Missouri environmental group. A biological assessment of stream ecology found that every stream segment assessed in the region was classified as "impaired," with some being classified as "very impaired," said the report, Status of the Watershed, prepared by the Ozarks Water Watch Foundation.
