美国佐治亚州的奥吉奇护水者邀请摄影师们提交自己的优秀作品,参加其年度摄影大赛。该大赛旨在展示面积达5500平方英里的奥吉奇河和卡努奇河流域内令人惊叹的景色和野生动物。今年,特邀评委是安吉拉·霍珀,她是一位成功的摄影师,也是公牛街光影工作室的所有者。作为总冠军奖励的一部分,霍珀将在她的工作室提供3小时的拍摄指导。主办方鼓励摄影师们聚焦该地区丰富的生态特征——这里为160多种珍稀动植物提供了重要栖息地。所有参赛作品必须在11月17日前提交,获奖者将于12月公布。
孟加拉国的苏尔玛河护水者及其合作伙伴在锡尔赫特的阿里·阿姆贾德钟楼附近组织了一场民众抗议活动,要求严惩博拉甘杰、贾夫隆及其他地区的采石盗采者。孟加拉国护水者组织的特邀发言人谢里夫·贾米尔等人谴责了非法采石造成的环境破坏。他强调,近期的采石盗采行为已造成不可挽回的损失,必须立即查明并惩处相关责任人。发言人们呼吁立即采取行动并追究责任,同时警告称,持续的盗采可能会对锡尔赫特的河流和生态系统造成不可逆的损害。活动人士、学者和权益组织联合起来,呼吁大家共同抵制破坏行为,保护自然与生命。
美国宾夕法尼亚州的三河护水者对卡尔冈公司的污水排放许可提出了上诉,旨在阻止全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)污染俄亥俄河。该公司的设施位于阿勒格尼县的内维尔岛,既处理《资源保护与回收法》监管下的危险废物,也处理非危险物质。该组织对现行许可提出质疑,认为其未能依法为宾夕法尼亚州居民提供针对有毒排放物的必要保护。尽管卡尔冈公司在水处理方面有一定经验,但未能阻止这些化学物质进入阿勒格尼县和俄亥俄河。在三个排污口的废水中已检测到这些物质,据三河护水者的执行董事希瑟·赫尔顿·范塔塞尔表示,该设施附近的污染物浓度是该地区有记录以来的最高水平。
美国佛罗里达护水者对美国环境保护局(EPA)提起诉讼,理由是后者未能定期更新水质标准,从而未能阻止有毒、致癌的化学物质污染该州的水域。联邦法律规定,这些标准必须每三年审查和修订一次,以反映最新的科学信息和研究成果。

Despite its experience in water treatment, Calgon has not prevented these chemicals from entering Allegheny County and the Ohio River. They have been detected in wastewater from three outfalls, and according to Three Rivers Waterkeeper Executive Director Heather Hulton VanTassel, the levels near this facility are the highest ever documented in the region.
