Clean Water Action works on a diverse set of issues on the national and state level both independently and in coalition with other groups. These issues include:

Clean Water

Clean Water Action is working to protect and improve the quality of all of America's waters. Americans support and deserve clean and healthy drinking water, wetlands, lakes, streams and ocean resources. Helping citizens make their case for clean water to local, state and national decision-makers is a core part of Clean Water Action's mission.
