Who is Waterkeeper Alliance?
Our waterways are the source of our drinking water, the fountain of our economic prosperity and the foundation of our culture and heritage.
On more than 170 waterways around the world local Waterkeepers are on patrol, standing up to polluters and enforcing your right to clean water. Waterkeeper Alliance connects and supports these grassroots advocates and fights for clean water and strong communities.
