Improving water quality for people and the environment
Water infrastructure investments that work with nature can be the backbone of healthy, equitable communities, vibrant economies, and resilient freshwater and near coastal systems. Willamette Partnership’s Clean Water Program is working to shift policy frameworks so that wetlands, forests, and floodplains can be a bigger part of how we get clean water for natural and human communities.
