River Voices April 2017 Issue Published: Water Equity And Civic Management
We believe that access to affordable clean water and healthy rivers is a fundamental human right. Like other human rights, we must be prepared to assert and defend this right. By listening, we can hear the concerns of the communities we are part of; and by working together, we can influence elected officials and resource managers to address these disparities. The articles in this issue of River Voices provide examples of places where access to affordable clean water is not equal, and how civic engagement is making a difference. These articles underscore the variety of ways to become involved, including seeking public office. We hope that this issue sparks your curiosity and encourages you to continue exploring. Water is life.
Take Our Annual Trends Survey
Please take River Network’s 2017 Trends Survey. This survey helps us gather up-to-date information on perceptions about conditions, threats, progress and River Network’s value related to healthy rivers. It is designed to give us all more insight into the challenges and opportunities we face collectively. In addition, the survey results will help us identify what investment, collaboration, or education opportunities are needed to make faster progress toward healthy rivers.
It should only take you a few minutes to complete. Click here to begin. Thank you in advance for participating.
The results of last year’s survey can be found in our 2016 Trends Report.
