**Water Quality Standards** are at the core of all water management programs, and provide a regulatory basis for water quality management activities authorized under the [Federal Clean Water Act](https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/summary-clean-water-act) and Division 7 of the California Water Code, referred to as the [Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act](http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/laws_regulations/docs/portercologne.pdf).
