Access to quality drinking water begins long before it reaches our treatment plants. At American Water, we understand that protecting water sources—rivers, aquifers, lakes, and wetlands—is essential to ensuring a safe, sustainable, and climate-resilient water supply.
Why is protecting water sources so important?
Natural water sources are increasingly threatened by urban development, industrial pollution, intensive agriculture, and climate change. When these sources are degraded, water quality drops, treatment costs rise, and local ecosystems suffer.
Maintaining the ecological integrity of water bodies also helps to prevent flooding, conserve biodiversity, and ensure long-term water resilience.
