Oregon Water Futures
The well water project builds community leadership in water justice and provides information needed to advocate for sustained, equitable investments in water infrastructure for rural communities of color across Oregon. As part of the community-driven well water testing, we provide well and drinking water testing kits, education and capacity for community leaders and volunteers to test their water, and analysis and reporting of the results after the tests are completed in collaboration with OSU’s Institute for Water & Watersheds. Our project builds community leadership in water justice and provides information needed to advocate for sustained, equitable investments in water infrastructure for rural communities of color across Oregon.
