What you can do
Throughout this project people have asked us "What can I do to help save the worlds rivers." Below are some of the many things that you can do to help conserve the worlds remaining free flowing rivers.
-
Spend time at a river. If people are enjoying a river whether it is rafting, kayaking, fishing, swimming, sunbathing or just sitting next to it, then the river has a greater value to those people as it is.
-
Travel to rivers that are threatened. By spending your tourism dollars at places that have rivers that are threatened this helps to convince policymakers that tourism through rafting, kayaking and fishing are a much bigger source of income in the long term to the local people than constructing a dam.
-
Conserve water, especially in regions such as the American South-West and in California. Irrigation and drinking water sources are becoming more desperate and this is threatening some of the worlds free flowing rivers.
-
Conserve Electricity. Turn off your lights when you are not using them, use more efficient refrigerators and air conditioning units. Hydro-electric power generation is the number one threat to the world's free flowing rivers. If we use more power, then we need to start looking at where it will come from.
