About Water Quality

WQD is also responsible — in cooperation with other state agencies — for maintaining water quality standards in Oklahoma’s lakes, rivers, and streams.

- It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it. We’ll help you learn how and certify that you know what you’re doing!
- It’s what you drink! What’s in it and what do we do to make sure it’s safe?
- You used it! Now what happens to it? What can be done to clean it up so we can enjoy it?
- It all runs down hill from here! So what is running down the hill and how much can be safely discharged?
- This group represents you and tells us how to better serve you.
