Be Water Wise - Ways to Save on Water
With 1,350 miles of coastline, the 700 mile wide Lake Okeechobee and 10 million acres of wetlands including the Everglades, Florida is known for its abundance of water. Yet, even with an average of 54 inches of rainfall a year, the sunshine state is still suffering from a severe drought that is only expected to worsen in 2008.
Add to this the 175 gallons of water the average Floridian uses each day -- about 65 more gallons per day than the average American.
It's time we all do our part to protect our most important natural resource. Here's how you and your family can make a real difference in just a few simple steps.

BoardUp Miami 2010
Clean Water Fund has teamed up in Florida with BoardUp Miami, South Florida's premier action sports festival, for a weekend of water sport fun, April 9-10th, 2010. BoardUp features a professional wakeboard competition and a live music festival. Clean water is important for our health, our environment and also so many ways to have fun!
Visit the BoardUp and sign up to participate or buy tickets to come out and enjoy the festival as a spectator. Tickets are only $10 when you buy them before the festival.
A portion of the festival's proceeds will go to supporting Clean Water Fund's Florida work.
Everglades for All

This survey revealed new opportunities for relationship building and will hopefully increase public input on key decisions in Everglades restoration.

What A Waste!
On February 21, 2008, Clean Water Action and Clean Water Fund released What A Waste! (pdf) . Close to 3,000 Clean Water Action members participated in our survey, indicating they want curbside recycling and would be willing to help pay for it. Our recommendations to the City are clear - establish a city-wide curbside recycling program now and work with groups like Clean Water Action to resolve stormwater issues in the City.
