What You Can Do at Home

You don't have to live on a river to help save one. Every one of us can make an important difference.

You can help keep water in our rivers in ways both large and small, from buying water-efficient washing machines to cleaning your driveway with a broom instead of a hose. And you can also help keep rivers clean by fixing car leaks promptly, reducing or eliminating the use of fertilizers and by making sure toxic chemicals don't go down the drain.
