River Network strengthens organizations and leaders to improve and protect their waterways, create climate-resilient communities, and ensure equitable access to safe, affordable drinking water.

We accomplish this locally and nationally by responding to the capacity and training needs of organizations and communities, and by synthesizing, elevating, and activating proven and promising practices from the field. River Network shares challenges, learnings, and successes from the field, catalyzing organizations to apply them for healthy rivers and clean drinking water.

River Network equips and connects advocates at the local, state, and federal levels to advance and implement policy, increase investments, and build power for greater collective impact and action.

These efforts create a connected and inclusive movement for equitable access to healthy waters and climate-resilient communities for people and nature to thrive.

We support local groups seeking to use the power of science in their efforts to advocate for healthy rivers. This includes identifying science needs, designing and implementing monitoring programs, and more, through mentoring, training programs, and peer-to-peer exchanges. Learn more.
