Fact
sheets on regional water policy

![Fact sheets.]() The amount of fresh water contained in the
Great Lakes could submerge the continental United States beneath
nearly 10 feet of water. But is that enough to meet the region’s
future needs? To show how and why leaders must act immediately to
develop an effective plan, a coalition of citizens' groups has
produced a special report, which offers solutions, and calls on
Great Lakes leaders in the United States and Canada to take a
leadership role by modernizing regional water policy.
