Regions
As the population in the Southeast has risen, growing demands have been placed on the region’s resources. Water pollution from farms and cities endangers aquifers as well as lakes and streams, endangering the safety of drinking water sources.

Earthjustice is working to protect the region’s water resources and to slow global warming.
