The DigDeep Right to Water Project (DigDeep) believes that by working together, every American family can achieve equitable access to water and sanitation in their lifetime, and that by learning to better care for water resources, they can last for future generations. The organization's work is outlined by the four areas of its impact model: advance community-led solutions by deploying proven Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) strategies to ensure that every American has clean, running water forever; develop an evidence base by collecting, sharing and leveraging domestic WASH data to inform the organization's progress toward universal access; mobilize America by empowering people to solve this problem in their lifetimes; and build an ecosystem of change by facilitating high-impact collaboration to lead a diverse, sustainable movement. DigDeep runs water access programs that serve communities in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia. The organization also develops research and education projects, and maintains a network of academic, government, and water industry partners focused on solving America's water crisis.
