Our Mission

The mission of River Collective Co. is to help address the ever-increasing challenge of water scarcity throughout the Colorado River Basin and beyond.

Colorado River Basin Water Crisis

A 20-year megadrought induced by climate change, increasing wildfires, and population growth are all factors contributing to the dire situation residents of the Colorado River Basin are facing today. If no action is taken, the comfort of living in the American Southwest will no longer be a reality. It is up to the 40 million people of the 7 basin states who rely on this water to shift our collective consciousness towards river revitalization, smart water policy education, conservation encouragement, and advocacy for a more sustainable future.
