Water Activist Toolkit Although real progress has been made since the Clean Water Act was enacted in 1977, excess nutrients, sewage and other pollution still threaten our drinking water sources. We have a long way to go to clean up our waters, but this tool-kit can help us get there. Click on the links below to access real tools that you can use to protect your drinking water sources and improve water quality in your area. Water Activist Toolkit Part I: Educational Materials Introduction The goal of the water activist toolkit is to provide individuals with real tools they can use to improve water quality in the place they live. Whether it is sources of information to assess water quality or actual actions taken in other states you can replicate in your community, there is something for everyone in this toolkit. The materials in this toolkit should be helpful in tackling some of these problems that still plague our nation's waters. Over time, we will update the materials in this toolkit. Please feel free to send any suggestions and comments for improvement to clean.water@sierraclub.org.
