Promoting Water Quality in the Upper White River Basin Watershed
Cleaner Water Together
Our MIssion at H2OzarkS
H2Ozarks promotes water quality in the Upper White River Basin watershed through bi-state collaboration on outreach, public policy, education, research, and action projects in Arkansas and Missouri.

OUR WORK
Failing septic systems create an environmental and human health concern. At H2Ozarks, we are connecting homeowners to resources to mitigate septic failures in our communities, and protect our water resources from septic pollution.
Agricultural BMPs involve finding the best management practices for an environment or area. At H2Ozarks we support the implementation of sustainable methods that protect our water resources and the surrounding environment.
At H2Ozarks we attend stakeholder meetings and work with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality to improve policies involving our water sources.
The Clean Marina program is a program that partners with marina operators and local recreational boaters to protect and gaurd the water quality in both Arkansas and Missouri.

At H2Ozarks one of our recent projects is the Arkansas Septic Remediation Program. Through this program we have been able to assist over 300 homeowners who had failing septic tank systems. This is just one of the many programs we are working on to bring cleaner water to our community.

WHAT WE ARE DOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Helping keep our water sources and the environment clean is our goal at H2Ozarks! From replacing failing septic systems to expanding education and knowledge we are working to create cleaner water together. Our partnership with MDC has potentially prevented nearly 3,662 pounds of nitrogen and 799 pounds of phosphorus per year from entering the tributaries and Table Rock Lake. This amount of nutrient has the potential to provide for the growth of 358,000 pounds of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) per year. That’s like thirty-five 10,000 gallon Tanker trucks! Join us on our journey to creating cleaner water together!
