Water Watch is a project of NJPIRG working on campuses and in communities across the state to address our most pressing urban water quality problems. 

Originally it began as a project of NJPIRG and AmeriCorps and over the past 15 years has allowed for hundreds of people to get involved with water issues.  Now as a project of NJPIRG, organizers and students across the state continue to work with  Water Watch to engage students and other community members in improving the health of our water ways. Each year, we train college interns and volunteers who organize over 50 river cleanups, monitor the health of a dozen key water bodies, and educate thousands of elementary and high school students.

Water Watch focuses on three main tactics: Community cleanups, environmental education, and streamwalking. Find out how to volunteer!
