When people think of groups in charge of protecting clean water, most think of water utilities. But land trusts, municipalities, local villagers, NGOs, research institutions, and other entities also have an interest in a clean water supply for local communities. For example, conserving forests around a water source is key to ensuring clean drinking water, and APFNet has already worked to conserve land and water resources as a crucial part of its mission.  
 
Here are some projects that highlight APFNet commitments in the watershed and wetland management for source water protection for the World Water Week, 23-27 August 2021.
