#DYK? 🤔 While urbanization and agriculture have drastically diminished the San Joaquin River, it remains the primary source of water for over 30 million Californians, as well as farms and endangered ecosystems. www.americanrivers.org/river/sacram...
After the Ramseur Dam came down, NC's Deep River is flowing freely for the first time in more than a century. The water will find its natural rhythm again, carving new paths, supporting wildlife, and inviting people back to its banks!

As data centers are being constructed at unprecedented rates, they have significant impacts on our communities and rivers. As our nation navigates forward, we must balance the impacts on our precious water resources.

🙌 American Rivers is Breaking Silos for Equitable, Resilient Watersheds!
We are feeling energized and inspired after our session at Center for Watershed Protection’s National Watershed and Stormwater Conference.
Victoria grew up surfing the river waves below low head dams — never knowing how many lives these dams have taken. As a kayaker, she now sees the danger. It’s time to rethink what belongs in our rivers.

The Suwannee River was just listed as one of our #MostEndangeredRivers of 2026. Excessive water withdrawals, sewage, and agricultural pollution are testing this river’s limits in the extreme.
🔊 Speak up today: act.americanrivers.org/page/96638/action/1
Florida's Suwanee River is famous for its springs, which ensure a consistent flow of clean water. But pollution and excessive water withdrawals are contaminating the river and causing vital springs to dry up.

#MostEndangeredRivers: Urge the DOI to approve the proposed mineral withdrawal to prevent future mining projects on the Amargosa River before temporary protection expires!
📣 Act now to protect this lifeline: act.americanrivers.org/page/96636/action/1
The Amargosa River is a desert treasure. But proposed claystone mining threatens pollution and impacted groundwater flows. The DOI must approve a mineral withdrawal to prevent this mining project.

#MostEndangeredRivers: Call on NY state agencies to evaluate alternatives to rebuilding a failed dam for aquatic wildlife and a healthy, free-flowing Nissequogue River!
📢 Use your voice today: act.americanrivers.org/page/96633/action/1
The failure of a dam freed a 2-mile stretch of the Nissequogue River, allowing it to restore itself and come back to life. Now, a proposal to build a new dam at this site threatens this progress.
🗣️ Call on state agencies to reconsider rebuilding the dam: www.AmericanRivers.org/NissequogueRiver2026
The Chilkat River was just listed as one of our #MostEndangeredRivers of 2026. The development of a copper and zinc mine would irreparably harm the Alaska Native community of Klukwan.
⬇️ Act now to help the Chilkat: act.americanrivers.org/page/96631/action/1
The Chilkat River, the lifeblood of Klukwan, supports an abundance of salmon, bears, and other wildlife. But a large, acid-producing hard rock mine, would contaminate the watershed, endangering a way of life.

#MostEndangeredRivers: Tell Congress to uphold existing Roadless Rule protections for the Rogue River’s remarkable salmon runs and incredible recreation!
🗣️ Speak up for the future of the Rogue today: act.americanrivers.org/page/96626/action/1
American Rivers is saddened by the Senate passage of H. J. Res. 140, which, if made law, will strip protections from the headwaters of the Boundary Waters and reopen 225,000 acres in the Superior National Forest to toxic mining activities, threatening all downstream flows with acid-mine drainage.
Florida’s Suwannee River has been named America’s 10th most endangered river, according to a new report from @americanrivers.bsky.social. Researchers point to rising nitrate pollution from farming and wastewater, along with groundwater over‑pumping.
#Florida #WaterQuality #Environment #Rivers
Oregon's Rogue River is threatened by the loss of existing #RoadlessRule protections that would increase logging, mining, and road building, in turn, polluting tributary streams and increasing wildfire risk.
