No matter who you are or where you live, we all need clean, safe, reliable drinking water. And most of our drinking water comes from rivers and streams. But pollution threatens our rivers, and our water supplies are becoming more stretched each year. Our country is a nation of rivers — and we need healthy rivers that can provide clean water to our communities.
All water is connected, from remote mountain streams to urban waterways. Pollution anywhere risks the rivers we rely on for our drinking water.
Pollution can come from a variety of sources — contaminated runoff from city streets and farm fields, sewage overflows, “forever chemicals” or PFAs, as well as toxic waste from industrial activities.
Pollution is not patriotic. The health of our communities depends on clean water.
