![GLIN Site of the Month]() Lake Erie supports a $7 billion
tourism business and supplies drinking water for 11 million people.
To help protect this vital resource, the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) completes annual assessments of
drinking water sources in the basin and develops plans to protect
them, provides grants for drinking and wastewater system
improvements, and conducts water quality studies to identify threats
to the water resources in the area. These projects and more are just
a sample of how Ohio EPA is working to make the Great Lakes basin
and all of Ohio a cleaner place to live and visit.
