FreshWater Accountability Project

Our mission is to educate people about freshwater supplies by providing an online archive of studies and community information. Through education and factual information, people can work towards meaningful change at the local, state, and federal levels of government to ensure our water is protected; and thus, our future is preserved.

The FreshWater Accountability Project (FWAP) started as a local, nonprofit organization in response to the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District’s (MWCD) private water sales to the oil and gas industry in Ohio. FWAP quickly learned how oil and gas drilling (namely, fracking), puts freshwater resources as risk in many ways.
