A glass of cold, clear water. Baskets of fresh produce at your grocery store. Your favorite pastime. Your connection to the natural world. It’s not just that rivers make our lives better. Rivers provide more than 2/3 of the water people need for survival. And we’re not the only ones.
When a river runs clean and free, millions of fish reproduce, feed and grow. Plants, birds and wildlife flourish along the river’s edge. Life prospers.
