Welcome to the Clean Water Campaign website, your source for information on how you can be part of the "solution to stormwater pollution."  

Things we do everyday at home or at our place of business threaten Metro Atlanta’s rivers, lakes and streams. More than 1,000 stream miles in the metropolitan Atlanta area violate state water quality standards. Stormwater runoff is a big part of this problem.

This is especially critical in the Atlanta region, where over 98 percent of our water supply comes from surface water sources. We also depend heavily on our rivers, lakes and streams for recreation, habitat, and preserving the quality of life we have come to enjoy.
