<a id="pl.50.11"></a><var>50.11</var>enhance, and restore, and preserve the water quality of Minnesota's surface waters in <br/>
<a id="pl.50.12"></a><var>50.12</var>lakes, rivers, and streams and to protect groundwater from degradation, by providing <br/>
<a id="pl.50.13"></a><var>50.13</var>authority, direction, and resources to achieve and maintain water quality standards for <br/>
<a id="pl.50.14"></a><var>50.14</var>groundwater and surface waters as, including the standards required by section 303(d) <br/>
