🩵 A love for wild places is at the heart of our mission.
At American Rivers, we’re working alongside partners to protect and restore the rivers that sustain our wildlife, support our communities, and connect us all to the wild places we love.
Protecting drinking water starts upstream, and we can’t do it alone. We work with our partners in the Collaborative to help protect source water across the country. #SourceWaterProtection works best when we collaborate to safeguard the water we all rely on.
#ProtectTheSource
Protecting source water starts with knowing where your water comes from.
DC's drinking water comes from The Potomac River. This #SourceWaterProtectionWeek, we’re joining AWWA in recognizing the importance of protecting the rivers, lakes, reservoirs and groundwater we rely on.
Drinking water is one of our most valuable resources because we need it to survive, but where does it come from?

Small actions at home can help #ProtectTheSource, like how you dispose of old medicine. Flushing it or pouring it down the drain doesn’t make it disappear. @dcwater explains why a medication drop-off is a better option for helping protect our waterways.

How many times have you used water today? For a drink, a meal or a shower, every one of those moments depends on a source worth protecting. This #SourceWaterProtectionWeek, we’re recognizing our shared role in caring for the water our communities rely on. #ProtectTheSource

Protecting the water sources we rely on today helps prepare our community for tomorrow. By keeping source water clean, utilities can better manage future supply and treatment needs. #SourceWaterProtectionWeek #ProtectTheSource

American Water’s Director of Research & Development Dr. Lauren Weinrich and Senior Principal of Environmental Policy and Planning Matt Corson joined policymakers in D.C this week to share their expertise on current and emerging issues, and American Water’s industry-leading research, development, and forward-looking policy and planning. They also met with @SenAdamSchiff, thanking him for his work on the Environment and Public Works Committee, and for his attention to issues facing water utilities and customers in California. #WeKeepLifeFlowing #SourceWaterProtectionWeek
Source water protection is a shared responsibility. Protecting drinking water takes utilities, local governments, landowners, community organizations and residents working together. Learn about how Central Arkansas Water did it for 500,000 Arkansans 🏞️

Planning an activity near a river, lake or reservoir? Help care for the water while you enjoy it. Pack out trash, pick up pet waste and follow local shoreline and recreation rules.
The places where we swim, boat and fish may also be drinking water sources.
