The Great Lakes border not only the US, but also Canada. The water quality of the lakes affects both countries, so we have to work together to provide a future for the lakes and the people who live on them. Both countries signed an agreement called "The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement" that has helped us clean up the lakes.
