Potomac Riverkeeper Network is an environmental services organization focused on protecting public water supplies by preventing pollution in the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers and their tributaries. Based in Washington, D.C., the group relies on a staff of riverkeepers and advocates to monitor water quality, educate communities, and address pollution through the Clean Water Act and other environmental laws, with the aim of safeguarding drinking water for millions and preserving healthy river habitats for public use. The organization serves communities across Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, working to curb toxic discharges and hold polluters accountable. Established to defend clean drinking water, the network engages in advocacy, monitoring initiatives, and collaborations with local partners to advance water quality in its region. A recent development includes a real-time water quality monitoring program launched in mid-2026 that covers the Anacostia, Potomac, and Shenandoah rivers, reflecting ongoing efforts to provide timely data for public awareness and stewardship.
