Table Name: TRI_WATER_STREAM
Description: The name of the stream, river, lake, or other water body to which the chemical is discharged.

This is not a list of all streams through which the toxic chemical flows but is a list of direct discharges. If more than one name is listed, the facility has a separate discharge to each water body listed.
