No the CWA has been partially successful, but it is far better than
nothing. If, you don't believe this just look to Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union for a highly industrialized benchmark area of the
world that either did not enforce any laws or did not have any laws
concerning surface water. 
The US is 33 times as industrialized as the former Soviet Union....think
about it without the CWA. 
We still have 40% of our lakes, rivers and streams polluted to the point
that one cannot eat the fish with any assurity of purity or swim in any of
the surface waters. If the CWA was not in effect and it was not enforced I
believe about 90% of water would be polluted.
