The Healthy Waters, Healthy Communities program links community groups with regional resource experts to help these groups investigate, understand and take action to address community health problems related to pollution. River Network program staff provides guidance to our community and resource partner pairings to assist them to:
- Organize and develop a solid constituency
- Investigate links between human health problems and pollution
- Identify hazards and exposure routes
- Monitor contamination levels
- Research the known health effects of contaminants
- Understand the basics of toxicology and epidemiology
- Conduct Health Surveys
- Develop campaign strategies and action plans based on the data collected
