New Jersey has many spectacular rivers and coastlines, from the Delaware River to the southern Jersey shore. Unfortunately, nearly eighty percent of our rivers, lakes, and streams are too polluted for fishing or swimming.

New Jersey Community Water Watch is a joint program between AmeriCorps and the NJPIRG Law and Policy Center. Water Watch works to empower students and community members to address water quality problems in New Jersey's urban areas through education and service.

We have three major program areas that we use to address water quality problems.
