Water Action GroupThe Transition Asheville Water Action Group promotes resilient sustainable water usage in the Asheville - Katuah bioregion. We recognize that water is an essential resource for agriculture, industry, and maintaining human health. We will educate the public to develop skills to be resilient through droughts and floods, and to make sustainable choices that reduce erosion, contamination, and increase ground water retention. We will network with local organizations and government agencies. KEEP TRACK OF OUR Blog AND Calendar |
