DELAWARE
Local, State, and Federal Policy
Delaware faces several challenges related to water quality and flooding and we can improve our environment, economy, and public health by supporting environmentally focused policies. Low income and historically underserved populations are less likely to have access to clean water. Along with our environmental focus, we are also committed to doing our part to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice within our work. Commonly referred to by the acronym ‘DEIJ’ — this work is pertinent to addressing the reality that environmental injustices are disproportionately affecting communities of color or low socioeconomic status.

Delaware’s waters need help from contaminated streams to varying quality of drinking water to increasing flooding, and we must do more. Clean water is a public health, economic and environmental issue. We must have environmentally focused policies at the local, state, and federal levels.
