Eight watersheds across the country. Our nonprofit work starts here, in Colorado.
The series travels nationwide, but Drop Water Project is a Colorado nonprofit. Every dollar raised funds work here first, starting with the episode set on the Colorado River.
Water rules for 40 million people, 7 states, and 30 tribes expire on the same day.
Every episode has one place and one person, fighting a fight most people never see. The clock is real: it runs out on December 31, 2026.
Every episode feels different: a thriller, a quiet story, a mystery, a homecoming.
