Want help organizing a clean up in your area? We are here to assist you. Please contact us, and we will try to put you in touch with existing support systems, and offer guidance for cleaning up your river too!
Every effort requires time and money, and sponsoring local cleanups can boost your reputation in the community while enabling this crucial work to continue and expand! (coming soon!)

Here is the story of Let’s Save Tuxpan Lake – a Rotary project in Mexico.
Many of you will have read the fantastic story of the Rotary Club of South Ukiah (California) District 5130’s “Cleaning the Rivers of the World” program in WASRAG’s October 2017 Newsletter. Spearheaded by passionate water champion Salvador Rico, the South Ukiah Rotary Club challenged Rotary clubs around the world to clean up rivers in their communities.
Inspired by Salvador and his club’s efforts, WASRAG now invites you and your club to get involved in water – and maybe win some funding for your water projects!
