Campaign Overview
Clean water begins at the source. Protecting New York’s lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and watersheds is essential to ensuring healthy ecosystems, communities, and drinking water. New York is one of the most water-rich states in the nation, and this precious natural resource must be protected from pollution, development pressure, and federal rollbacks of environmental protections.
Environmental Advocates NY is working to strengthen state-level safeguards for our wetlands and waterways, particularly as the federal government weakens Clean Water Act protections. We support land use policies that protect watershed and push for strong limits on pollution from road salt, erosion, pesticides, and emerging contaminants that threaten our water quality.
We work in close partnership with municipal watershed organizations, local governments, water utilities, and grassroots groups to defend and restore the natural systems that supply and protect clean water across New York. By investing in source water protection today, we can secure clean water for future generations.
