Driftless Water Defenders is a non-profit Iowa environmental law and advocacy organization founded in May 2024 and focused on reducing farm-related water pollution and pollution-caused threats to public health in the Driftless Area of northeast Iowa, and statewide. We got started because some Iowans decided enough is enough, and it’s time to confront head-on industrialized agriculture’s assault on our water resources.
We are intent on changing public policy, engaging citizens and, when necessary, litigating matters to protect and enhance Iowans’ access to clean water for personal, business and recreational purposes.
Our Mission
Strategy
Driftless Water Defenders manages a comprehensive program of focused litigation, persistent public engagement, and effective fund-raising to accomplish its mission.
Operations
Along with preparing and executing litigation in support of its mission and goals, Driftless Water Defenders communicates with Members, funders, citizens, media, public officials, business leaders, and the farm community.
