The Colorado River Waterkeeper Network

UCRWG was thrilled to join the Waterkeeper Alliance as a Colorado Riverkeeper Affiliate in December 2020, connecting our organization to a vast international network of environmental activists working to protect and restore waterways worldwide. Waterkeeper Alliance is the fastest-growing nonprofit focused on preserving and protecting everyone’s right to clean water by connecting grassroots organizations and local leaders to a global network of like-minded organizations.

As a front-line voice in all issues related to clean water, the Waterkeeper movement is active from the peaks of the Himalayas to the Jordan River delta in the Middle East, in coastal areas from the Bahamas to Australia, and across North America. Waterkeepers work to defend the fundamental human right to drinkable, fishable, and swimmable waters worldwide, tackling issues ranging from clean and safe energy to stronger environmental regulations.
