Great Cities Start With Great Water

Imagine an LA where every home has clean, reliable water, where rivers and beaches are safe to swim in, and where streets in every neighborhood are lined with trees and abundant with green space. LA Waterkeeper is working to make that future real—and you can help make it happen.

Why This Matters

“Water is life” is more than a phrase–it’s reality! Water shapes our survival, health, and resilience.
Water is at the center of Los Angeles’ most urgent climate and infrastructure challenges. Too much water during floods, too little during droughts, and other critical vulnerabilities in our aging systems create risks for every neighborhood.

Yet we still fail to treat water with the respect and protection it deserves—wasting it, polluting it, and taking it for granted as it becomes increasingly scarce.

But with your help, a different future is within reach. When you support LA Waterkeeper, you fuel the local solutions—stormwater capture, wastewater recycling, groundwater restoration—that strengthen our region’s resilience for the long term. 

Dive deeper into how water shapes Los Angeles’ climate resilience and learn how Great Cities Start with Great Water.
