Description
The Clean, Safe Drinking Water Program, offered by the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment, funds projects that address critical water issues across California. The program is particularly focused on improving groundwater management and mitigating contamination—such as nitrate pollution from agriculture—in regions like the San Joaquin Valley. Supported initiatives may include developing better agricultural practices, advocating for the needs of affected residents, and ensuring marginalized communities have a voice in water policy decisions. The ultimate goal is to secure reliable, safe, and affordable drinking water for all Californians, with a strong emphasis on equity and community engagement.
