American Rivers

Our rivers and communities are threatened by pollution, violent weather, unnecessary dams, and more. Perhaps the greatest threat to our rivers is simply lack of awareness of their importance to our lives. American Rivers tackles these challenges head on. We have a half-century of experience addressing river threats from coast-to-coast: helping partners protect vital habitat, working with communities to reduce river pollution, securing policies to ensure we all have clean, abundant water, driving solutions that reduce the risk of floods, working to remove unnecessary dams, and strengthening a river movement that adds power to all of this work.
