Stop Sediment Pollution
Dirt is the most common pollutant in America’s waterways. When it rains, mud flows from poorly protected construction sites, logging activities and farms into our streams and rivers. Silt spells suffocating death for the plants and wildlife in our streams and costs taxpayers an estimated $16 billion every year.
As a member of the Muddy Water Watch team, you can help. Become a certified Muddy Water Watcher, or simply upload photographs of problem construction sites in your neighborhood. Your images will help us show the widespread impacts dirt is having on our nation’s lifeblood and help ensure clean water for future generations.
