American Rivers Action Fund calls on Congress to develop and implement a clean water blueprint
Investing in clean water security generates a tremendous return on investment for the country. Clean water is not a luxury. It is vital to our future economic growth and national security. It is also essential to our nation’s treasured hunting and fishing traditions and the heritage of our communities.
But our water wealth has never faced greater threats. Dams are failing, infrastructure is crumbling, communities are flooding more frequently, and drinking water costs are increasing as our rivers are impacted by pollution and sewage overflows.
Simply put, America cannot be a world leader if we don’t take care of our water. We are less competitive, less healthy, and less safe if we don’t get the basics right. The United States can and must do better.
The American Rivers Action Fund, an affiliate of American Rivers, calls on Congress to develop and implement a clean water blueprint that is focused on the following:
-
Ensure America has the cleanest water in the world
-
Invest in crumbling infrastructure and build smart
-
Make America more safe and secure
-
Help energy providers lead long-term
Please ask your member of Congress to support this common sense blueprint for keeping America's rivers safe and our water clean.
