Freshwater works with elected officials and government leaders to promote sound public policy that protects and preserves lakes, rivers, streams and aquifers. As a nonpartisan science-based organization, we seek collaborative and lasting solutions to complex water issues.
Legislative Agenda
We plan to focus on several priorities at the Minnesota Legislature during the next session, including:
- Clean and accessible drinking water
- Smart design and development of new high-volume water users
- Improved water quality in rural Minnesota
The Freshwater policy team is currently meeting with state agencies and partner organizations to discuss water policy needs for the upcoming year. Check back soon to view our 2027 legislative agenda.
