ORSANCO is a United States–based regional environmental commission that collaborates with its member states to improve water quality in the Ohio River Basin. Founded in 1948, the organization works to ensure the river can be used for drinking water, industrial supplies, and recreational activities, while supporting a healthy and diverse aquatic community. It operates monitoring programs that screen for pollutants and toxins that could interfere with these uses. Its activities center on coordinating state agencies, utilities, and partner organizations to address water-quality challenges across the basin. In June 2026, ORSANCO joined the Kentucky Waterways Alliance in a statewide cleanup effort organized with multiple participants across the Mississippi River watershed, reflecting a collaborative approach to stewardship beyond a single jurisdiction.
