Welcome to the water initiative of the Center for Media and Democracy, which includes a special focus on the threats to our rivers, watersheds, and fresh water supplies from drilling for methane gas, including ongoing efforts by oil and gas companies to "drill, baby, drill"--without adequate protections--in the Marcellus Shale region of the Northeastern U.S. and other states across the country.
