>>Most of Montana's rivers and streams (74%) have fair water quality that periodically fails to support aquatic life uses. Another 5% have poor water quality that consistently fails to support aquatic life uses. About 14% of the surveyed lake acres have good water quality that fully supports fish and aquatic life, 57% fully support swimming, and 62% fully support drinking water use. Agriculture (especially irrigated crop production and rangeland) impairs 60% of the surveyed stream miles and 45% of the surveyed lake acres. In general, nonpoint sources are a factor in 90% of the impaired rivers and 80% of the impaired lakes. Resource extraction, forestry, and municipal sewage treatment plants have less widespread impacts on water quality. <<

LOL! Great stats. Don't forget to pack the bottled water!
