Abstract
Lakes are important to Iowa. Our 236 lakes and 47,700 ponds provide many economic and social benefits. Numerous lakes provide drinking water supply for thousands of Iowa residents. Lake-based recreation activities--fishing, swimming, boating and others--provide millions of visitor days of recreation for Iowans and state visitors. Furthermore, lakes provide flood control and cooling water, enhanced property values, fish and wildlife habitat, and valuable ecological and aesthetic resources.
