Nearly everyone in our country lives within a mile of a river but few know what that

river provides. Much of our drinking water comes directly from rivers, and clean

water contributes to our health. Natural river habitats support thousands of plant and

animal species. Our farms and cities depend on abundant river water for growth. For

many of us, rivers offer recreation and a way to connect to nature.

That's why American Rivers is championing a national effort to protect and restore all rivers, from remote mountain streams to urban waterways.
