  • Alabama Water Agenda (Update): A guide for achieving health waters in Alabama

    The Alabama Water Agenda, produced by the Southern Environmental Law Center and Alabama Rivers Alliance, details the changes needed in state policies to ensure that Alabama has clean and plentiful drinking water and healthy river systems for the long term. The report, an update from our 2007 water agenda, calls on state leaders to take prompt action to protect our environment and to manage Alabama’s waters to ensure the resource is fully protected and allocated fairly among our communities, farms, and industrial users.  Among other things,our report recommends more funding for water quality programs, stronger enforcement of water laws, and better coordination among the many state agencies with some level of responsibility for our water resources.
