Waterkeeper Alliance

The Waterkeeper Alliance is a global grassroots organization dedicated to protecting clean water and promoting healthy ecosystems. Founded in 1999, it comprises local Waterkeeper organizations, each led by a water advocate who monitors and defends a specific body of water, such as a river, lake, or coastal area. By engaging communities, enforcing environmental laws, and raising awareness, the Alliance empowers people to fight pollution and safeguard their local water resources. Their mission combines advocacy, education, and community action to ensure that everyone has access to clean and safe water.
