Institute for Water and Health

Field sampling and training today on the Ogeechee River for June.

Today, on World Environment Day, we witnessed the power of community in action! 🌎💚
A HUGE thank you to our incredible volunteers who dedicated their time and energy to help remove 302 pounds of trash from the Wilshire Canal today. Every bag collected and every piece of litter removed helps create a cleaner, healthier, and more beautiful place for everyone.

Your commitment to protecting our planet inspires us all and proves that small actions, when taken together, can make a big impact.

Thank you for making a difference and for celebrating World Environment Day through action. Together, we're building a cleaner future—one cleanup at a time. ♻️🌱

Come out and help us pick up trash on Fri, Jun 5, 2026 at 9:00 AM for World Environment Day. We aim to encourage awareness and action for the protection of the environment. Meet up at the parking lot beside the Walmart on Abercorn, 10 Redwood Circle, Savannah, GA 31419. See you there!

“Do you ever stop and wonder if the water you swim in is actually safe?” 🌊🏊‍♀️
Whether you’re enjoying the beach, a river, lake, or neighborhood pool, water quality plays an important role in protecting public health. Bacteria, pollution runoff, and environmental changes can all impact the safety of recreational waters.

At the Institute for Water and Health, we are committed to advancing water research, community education, and monitoring efforts that help keep our communities informed and our waters safer for everyone.
