For forty-five years, the James River Association (JRA) has been the leading voice and guardian for our beloved river.  Over those four and half decades, we have seen remarkable progress in the health of the James, transforming the river from one of the nation's most polluted into one of the most improved.  However, the James is still a river at risk and the threats facing the river are no less urgent than those we faced in the past.

The truth is, our challenges are even greater

As populations expand and place greater pressure on resources, water will be the most critical resource of this century. If managed properly to be a sustainable water source, The James River can be the greatest asset and competitive advantage for its communities.
