About this organization
Mission
We work to protect the public’s right to clean water in the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. We stop pollution to promote safe drinking water, protect healthy river habitats, and enhance public use and enjoyment.
About
Watershed protection - we identify sources of pollution and figure out how to stop them. We regularly patrol the rivers we work to protect. We respond to tips and complaints. We review paper records - like discharge monitoring reports and inspection reports - to determine whether violations have occurred. We collect evidence - water quality samples, photographs, videos, victim's interviews, and build the case we need to stop the pollution. And we organize - we listen to communities along the river and work with them to stop the problems about which they care the most. We built grassroots support for clean water through stewardship -- Riverpalooza and Riopalooza.
