Rivers and Lakes by Will

Are the lakes and rivers kept clean? How?

Lake Kuttara is the cleanest lake in Japan. It's kept clean by people not throwing garbege and other kinds of stuff. In Japan there are lots of water falls so that makes the rivers flow fast and makes the rivers clean. The rivers in Japan are deep and flow fast and the fast moves of the water helps keep the water clean. Japan has many factories that have been built by the water. Sometimes these factories dump waste into rivers and dirty them. The large cities that are by the water have caused the water to become polluted. To stop the rivers and lakes from becoming polluted and poisoning animals and people, Japan has to make a very strong laws. An Enviromental Agency was made that made water treatment plants to clean the water. They also watched to make sure factories don't dump harmful chemicals into the water. Science centers were to setup to measure how clean the river and lakes are.
