Three Texas Lakes Ranked Highly As Dirtiest In Nation For Many Reasons

To find out which lakes aren't the best, Lake compiled data from the National Water Quality Monitoring Council. Various factors contributed to the list itself.

But now comes the moment of truth, which lakes in Lone Star State unfortunately made this list? Could it be one that you live close to? One thing is for sure, a cleanup may be needed.

As revealed by Lake, Lake J.B. Thomas was the second worst lake in the nation. Due to dissolved oxygen measurements being lower than the needed standard, it was placed in that position.

Landing at third was Lake Wichita, with a combination of dissolved solids, smelliness, and multiple different issues. Lake Buchanan took the sixth spot, due to the same issue mentioned for Lake J.B Thomas.

So, it looks like it is time for some cleanup in the state of Texas!
