Connecting Our Maine Waterways
Local action, global outreach
Our mission is Water.
Through Education and Research.
At Water For ME, we believe that clean drinking water is a basic human right. Our goal is to provide clean drinking water to the millions that lack access...one person at a time.
We tackle global environmental issues in our own backyard and bring our portable water laboratory to remote regions of the world to help bring clean water to families and children.

Student Research Highlights
"More than half of Maine residents drink water from privately owned well, putting more than 100,000 of them at high risk for arsenic exposure, which can later become a public health issue. I wanted to create a cost efficient and effective sorbant to remove arsenic from a polluted well."

"Microplastics are polluting beaches, rivers, lakes, and oceans across the world. This project shows the extent of microplastic pollution along the Penobscot River Watershed, and how population, development, and human activity impact the pollution."
