Working together as citizens to help clean our water in Southwest Iowa

The Nishnabotna Water Defenders are a group of citizens in Southwest Iowa concerned about one thing: Keeping our water clean.

We’re focused on organizing, advocating, and educating with respect to improve water quality not just here, but in the state of Iowa.

We believe everyone has a right to clean water, no matter who you are or where you live. Water quality in Iowa, especially in our corner of the state, has suffered in the last couple of decades.

In the last year alone, the East Nishnabotna River has experienced multiple accidents that have affected water quality for all citizens in Southwest Iowa. As citizens, we deserve better than to have our waterways polluted.

Our group is meant to show how important our rivers and streams are to our way of living. No matter how you use them, we urge you to join us to help improve our water quality. Your voice matters.
