Participating in a river cleanup with your group, neighbours, friends or family can help protect the health of water by preventing pollution from many sources such as land runoff, precipitation and more.<\/p>\n<p>Adopters can adopt the entire river or part thereof since continuous maintenance of some rivers may be a costly undertaking.<\/p>\n<p>How does it work?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pick a date, time and location for the river Cleanup.<\/li>\n<li>Coordinate with your group, neighbours, family or friends by inviting them to attend.<\/li>\n<li>On the day of the cleanup, bring trash bags and gloves to the site.<\/li>\n<li>Divide the participants into smaller groups if the area is large to cover more ground.<\/li>\n<li>Consider making the cleanup a contest between smaller groups. Whoever collects the most trash or the weirdest item wins!<\/li>\n<li>If you have a scale, consider weighing the trash collected after the cleanup. Then you can tell others how many pounds of trash you collected to help keep pollutants out of water resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Gather your groups and let\u2019s clean up our rivers![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;sidebar-page&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; el_class=&#8221;section-padding&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1642087417673{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1582357079173{padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1642087429624{background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Affiliated Agencies<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-6&#8243;]<div class=\"ss-shortcode text-center ss-iconic-block style_2 iconic-blocks \">\r\n  <div class=\"features_wrap features-after-none\">\r\n    <div class=\"iconic-block\">\r\n      <div class=\"f-f-icon\">\r\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.adoptarivertt.com\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wasa110x110.png\" alt=\"\"\/>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n        <h5 class=\"text-custom-secondary\">Water And Sewerage Authority<\/h5>\r\n        <p class=\"mb-0\">The Adopt a River Programme is affiliated with the Water Resources Agency, the Water and Sewerage Authority and the Green Fund<\/p> <a class=\"icon-btn\" target=\" _blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wasa.gov.tt\/\"><span>WASA Website <\/span><\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-6&#8243;]<div class=\"ss-shortcode text-center ss-iconic-block style_1 iconic-blocks \">\r\n  <div class=\"features_wrap features-after-none\">\r\n    <div class=\"iconic-block\">\r\n      <div class=\"f-f-icon\">\r\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.adoptarivertt.com\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wra110x110.png\" alt=\"\"\/>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n        <h5 class=\"text-custom-secondary\">Water Resources Agency<\/h5>\r\n        <p class=\"mb-0\">As the regulatory body responsible for the watersheds of Trinidad and Tobago, the WRA works closely with us in fulfilling our mandate of watershed improvement<\/p> <a class=\"icon-btn\" target=\" _blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wasa.gov.tt\/WASA_WRA.html\"><span>WRA Website <\/span><\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-6&#8243;]<div class=\"ss-shortcode text-center ss-iconic-block style_1 iconic-blocks \">\r\n  <div class=\"features_wrap features-after-none\">\r\n    <div class=\"iconic-block\">\r\n      <div class=\"f-f-icon\">\r\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.adoptarivertt.com\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GreenFund110x110.png\" alt=\"\"\/>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n        <h5 class=\"text-custom-secondary\">Green Fund<\/h5>\r\n        <p class=\"mb-0\">It is a grant facility that is available to eligible organizations who wish to engage in environmental activities.
