Protecting Water Quality, Protecting Rivers

Clean Water Action is helping to lead the fight to protect water quality in the Cache la Poudre River and Colorado River basins. Multiple dam and reservoir projects are planned that will severely impact water quality and river health in both basins.

In the Colorado River basin, a large project called the "Windy Gap Firming Project" will drain more water out of the Colorado River and pipe it over to the Front Range to supply water for sprawling growth.

 Passing the Clean Water Restoration Act

Clean Water Action has been knocking and rocking the Front Range of Colorado to help pass the Clean Water Restoration Act!

Clean Water Action has knocked on over 100,000 doors in the Metro Denver and Northern Colorado area, generating letters to U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, and to U.S. Representative Betsy Markey.

Jumpstarting the Clean Energy Economy

Clean Water Action is partnering in a coalition effort to jumpstart the clean energy economy in Colorado, help pass the American Clean Energy Security Act of 2009, and keep a close eye on polluting and destructive coal power.
