Contaminants in drinking water can cause serious health problems like stomach issues, reproductive troubles, and neurological disorders. Infants, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems are especially at risk. Tackling this problem means taking a comprehensive approach.
Collaborating with local organizations and schools to collect data and raise awareness about water quality issues helps build momentum for collective change and builds momentum for policy changes through community partnerships.
Join us in our mission to collect water quality data on St. Croix to ensure we know the health of the water we use!
