Here at the Savannah Riverkeeper, we rely on support from concerned citizens and business partners to fight against the pollution of water! Volunteers and donors have helped us remove tons of trash via river and stream clean-ups, monitor legislation that impacts water use and water quality, and sponsor events that let people dearly appreciate the Savannah River. Your donation is vital to our ability to tackle environmental problems. Please visit our Donate page for ways to support your local Riverkeeper! |

Title: Sign the No Water Grabs Petition today to ensure fair allocation of water for all Georgians!
Description: The Savannah River is the lifeblood of the communities and businesses in and around the CSRA, and the increased amount of interbasin transfers will not only threaten our economy but will also risk the livelihood of the wildlife. Urge Gov. Perdue and the Georgia General Assembly to adopt, during the 2010 legislative session, laws requiring Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division to require any current and future interbasin transfers of water to be done in a manner that protects our natural resources and our economic future.
Title: More abandoned boats found in the Savannah River
