Big Data Centers, Bigger Impacts
As demand for data centers continues to grow, increasingly massive data centers are being built across the United States, raising new concerns about water use, water pollution, electricity demand, climate change pollution, and other effects on surrounding communities. Clean Water Action and Clean Water Fund are working with communities, experts, and policymakers to better understand these impacts and advocate for greater transparency, stronger environmental safeguards, and policies that protect clean water, public health, and the environment.
Preventing PFAS Pollution
PFAS chemicals have been dubbed “forever chemicals”, because they are extremely persistent, lasting thousands of years in the environment. Small amounts of the toxic chemicals can cause many serious health problems. Clean Water is working at the national and state level to stop PFAS pollution at the source.
Protect Water and Communities from Oil and Gas
Clean Water Action works to protect water, health, climate and communities from oil and gas while pushing for the transition to a clean energy economy. We work to secure the strongest possible protections to limit the impacts of oil and gas development and to end the special treatment for the fossil fuel industry at the local, state, and national levels.
Strengthening Clean Water Protections
Clean Water is working to protect clean water and restore safeguards for our nation's wetlands and streams that feed our drinking water sources, filter pollution and protect communities from flooding.
Putting Drinking Water First
“Putting Drinking Water First” means stopping threats to drinking water where they start. Clean Water Action is working to win strong water pollution controls by focusing on public health and drinking water impacts and bringing public health and environmental advocacy into Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) implementation.
