Issues
At the Fresh Water Accountability Project (FWAP), we take interest in issues threatening our freshwater resources. The issues include, but are not limited to, drilling operations, frack waste transportation, oil and gas pipelines, landfills (old, new, and proposed), and more. We cannot drink money. It is critical that we protect our freshwater resources for future generations.
