This #WaterWednesday, we're going back in time to an era when rivers in America were so polluted they literally caught fire. But thankfully, in 1972, the Clean Water Act (CWA) changed the course of our history. This groundbreaking law didn’t just reduce pollution; it redefined our relationship with water. It gave us standards for what’s safe, tools to hold polluters accountable, and the hope that our rivers could once again sustain life. Because of the CWA, waterways that were once off-limits are now places we fish, swim, and paddle. Communities have rallied to protect their local rivers, and generations have grown up knowing that clean water is a right, not a privilege. Now, for over five decades, the Clean Water Act has helped secure cleaner, healthier rivers for all of us. That’s something worth celebrating. Join us each week in this series as we learn more about this incredible law. #cleanwateract #healthyrivers #cleanwater #cleanwatermatters #learnwithus River Network (fb)
