JOIN THE COALITION BY SIGNING ON TO OUR PRINCIPLES
We Believe:
- Clean water is a priority in the Delaware River Watershed and
across the country. We as a society need to place more emphasis
on the importance of clean water to our economy, our environment,
and our quality of life.
- All water resources—including upstream sources like streams,
wetlands, and other water bodies—must be protected, as all are
essential to the functioning natural system. Successful
protection will require a collaborative, regional approach while
managing and treating water locally to maintain the local water
balance, recharge aquifers, reduce water consumption, and reduce
waste loads to the surrounding environment.
- Public and private spending to improve protections for the
Delaware River Watershed is an economic necessity.
- Investment in clean, smart water technology and other
market-based solutions are key tools to protect the Delaware
River Watershed while simultaneously creating jobs and
strengthening our economy
- Protecting, managing and restoring land in the Delaware River
Basin is crucial to a healthy watershed.
- Water quality data should be collected freely and shared
easily between municipal, state, and federal government agencies,
private entities, and the public.
