Clean Water Video Series: Progress and Challenges in New York

On World Water Day, we look at what protecting clean water looks like in New York State

March 22nd is World Water Day, and to celebrate, we are releasing a video series on the progress and challenges associated with protecting NY’s water resources. From Long Island to the Finger Lakes to the Great Lakes, significant efforts have been made to protect and restore our treasured waters, and this video series provides a glimpse into our progress.

New York has an abundance of water resources that we rely on for drinking water, recreation, tourism, and a heathy environment. Major investments have been made in successful efforts to restore our waterbodies, combat harmful algal blooms, address emerging contaminants, and so much more.

We’ve produced six short videos that highlight what successful water quality protection projects look like and the many benefits they provide to New York. Learn more about the work that has been done to protect New York’s treasured waters, the work left to do, and why we need continued state and federal investments in protecting clean water in New York!

Videos in this series include:

• The Big Picture on Clean Water: Progress and Challenges in New York

• Great Lakes Success Story: Green Infrastructure in the City of Buffalo

• Great Lakes Success Story: Upgrading Erie County’s Southtowns Wastewater Treatment Plant
