Clean water is a basic human right. LCV works to protect the waters that our families, communities, and economy depend on and to defend our bedrock environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act. From the mighty rivers and lakes, to the small mountain streams and wetlands, from the sea shore to the deep ocean, our water resources, and the species that depend on them, are invaluable, and we must fight to ensure their continued health and protection from pollution.
