Our changing climate demands careful protection of our vital water resources to ensure clean, abundant water for all.
Water is life—connecting, sustaining, and inspiring us all. And for Prairie Rivers Network, it is our passion, our service, our mission. Clean water is essential for drinking, growing food, manufacturing, recreation, and supporting the incredible diversity of fish and wildlife in Illinois. Our overwhelming—though often under-appreciated—dependence on clean water mandates its careful use and the steadfast protection of our rivers.
Every day, thousands of pollutants flow or are dumped into Illinois lakes, streams, and rivers. Together, we are working to prevent pollution, hold polluters accountable, and to keep our waters clean for the benefit of all life.
