In an editorial on the Huffington Post's Green Blog, Wm. Robert Irvin, President, American Rivers, presents the case that the fiscal cliff spending cuts threaten rivers and clean water. HIs editorial begins:

These across-the-board cuts to federal programs could have devastating impacts on rivers and clean water."
