S.A.V.E
S.A.V.E recognizes the importance of safe water in our daily lives and the billions of
people who are still without access to these basic human rights. Our mission is to help develop a practical response to the urgency.
S.A.V.E volunteers
share the passion 'to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of
reducing by half the proportion of people without sustainable access
to safe drinking water by the year 2015'.
Our mission is to help invent, develop, and fund innovative freshwater-efficiency programs and technologies, and distribute water purification tools direct to people in need for safe drinking water around the world.

Volunteer Monitors
Across the country, trained citizen volunteers are monitoring the condition
of their local streams, lakes, estuaries, and wetlands.
EPA encourages all
citizens to learn about their water resources and supports volunteer monitoring
because of its many benefits.
Volunteer monitors build awareness of pollution
problems, become trained in pollution prevention, help clean up problem sites,
provide data for waters that may otherwise be unassessed, and increase the
amount of water quality information available to decision makers at all levels
of government.
