I’m doing a project about water pollution. I need the total percentage that Earth’s water pollution has increased, if it has, or decreased, which I doubt. I mainly need it for the United States, but overall is fine.

For many years the U.S. was making great headway in cleaning rivers, but the Bush administration placed pro-business people in charge of the E.P.A. and other federal agencies charged with guarding water quality.

Below are some links. However, it is difficult to find an easy-to-read chart with the info you ask for.
