Rivers Alliance of Connecticut

We are Connecticut's united voice for river conservation.

Clean water for future generations

We must ensure enough clean water to meet the future needs of wildlife, people, and a growing economy.
Clean rivers that support a growing economy

The rivers, streams and wetlands of Connecticut must provide ecological services critical to our health, safety and economy.
Healthy rivers for healthy communities

Every river in Connecticut should be an asset to the communities through which it flows.

Promoting sound, science-based, environmental policies.

We’re encouraging state laws, regulations, and programs that support and improve water allocation, watershed planning, and river protection.
Protecting Stream Flow

To keep water in rivers, we’re advocating for better water allocation policies and compliance with the state’s existing Stream Flow Standards and Regulations.
Restoring Water Quality

Approximately 24% of the state’s wadeable streams fail to meet water quality standards. We’re working with our members and partner organizations to restore water quality through better permitting and enforcement of stormwater regulations.
Championing Investment in the Environment

We’re working for state investment in greener water infrastructure and other programs that improve and restore rivers.
Forging Diverse Partnerships

We’re working with our members, other environmental groups, and partners in government, industry, and academia to achieve our goals.
Educating the Public

We conduct educational programs and provide resources to the public to improve understanding and appreciation for our water resources and facilitate waterway preservation and restoration.
