Charles River Advocacy Group Receives $1 Million Gifts
|
Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA) has recently received two $1 million gifts from anonymous donors to support the organization’s work in the region building resilience to flooding and drought and restoring the Charles River. These leadership gifts will help establish a more secure financial future for CRWA and its innovative work. CRWA’s research into the ecosystem and hydrology of the Charles River has led to transformative approaches to managing polluted stormwater runoff in urban and suburban areas. CRWA has also pioneered new approaches to wastewater, capturing water, energy and heat that is otherwise lost in sewers, and turning it into a significant renewable energy source. CRWA’s groundbreaking work to restore natural systems in cities will build resilience to droughts and floods, and support a healthy Charles for decades to come.
