The water pollution problems of the Great Lakes area are reviewed in terms of their various effects and what is being done to correct them. Problems are identified as: over-enrichment of the lakes; build-up of dissolved solids; bacterial contamination of the lakes and tributaries; chemical contamination from industrial waste discharges; and oxygen depletion of the lakes and tributaries. Management problems are also described along with federal, state, regional, local, industrial interstate and international action.
