We all know that water's a vital part of life. It is essential for agricultural, industrial, and household use as well as for basic human health and economic development.

Right now, Georgia water systems are in danger. A proposed mining project threatens the Okefenokee Swamp, an important resource that is home to some of Georgia's most treasured wildlife. Single use plastics are endangering marine environments. And coal ash is polluting our water with lead, mercury, and other heavy metals.

To support our life, our health, and our economy we need a healthy water system all the way from watershed, to marsh, to stream, to river, to estuary, to ocean.  We can work with resilient natural systems to make this happen or we can attempt to replicate their function through artificial means. By looking at this issue through the lens of One Health - we can deliver solutions that are effective for people, animals, and nature.
