Our Mission

The Headwaters to the Ohio Water Network connects diverse water stakeholders to develop and pursue a shared vision and attract increased resources for safe and clean water.

Welcome to the Headwaters to the Ohio Water Network (H2O), a coalition of organizations working to improve water quality and access in the Upper Ohio River Basin. We promote sustainable water management practices and ensure that everyone in the region has access to clean, safe, and affordable water. With a focus on collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and community engagement, we are working to address the key water-related challenges facing our region, from climate change and stormwater runoff to agricultural practices and public awareness. Join us in our efforts to protect and preserve our most vital natural resource - water.
