The Potomac Interceptor
Crisis Fund 💧
The Potomac is facing a catastrophic sewage crisis. Millions of gallons of raw waste have entered our water, and Potomac Riverkeeper Network (PRKN) is the last line of defense protecting your river.
The Potomac Interceptor Crisis Fund was created to power Potomac Riverkeeper Network's urgent response in the following ways:
· Expanding our emergency Water Quality Monitoring program, testing water samples near the spill site to assess where the river is safe (and where it isn't). We are the only independent nonprofit to collect and publish scientifically rigorous water quality data since the spill began.
· Sustained advocacy focused on holding DC Water and governments accountable for damage assessments, environmental remediation, and safeguards to protect and restore the health of our river.
· Keeping our eyes on the water with boots-on-the-ground investigation, ongoing monitoring, and public reporting of short and long term river impacts. Your donation keeps PRKN agile and immediately adaptable to this rapidly evolving situation.
As a Crisis Fund donor, you'll gain access to the latest news on the spill, and become an official member of Potomac Riverkeeper Network.
