About Watershed Investigations

This is a watershed moment. Rivers, lakes, aquifers, wetlands, coasts, oceans and the wildlife they support are under threat from climate change, pollution and misuse. Drought, flood and sea-level rise makes swathes of land uninhabitable or unproductive. At times up to two-thirds of the global population live in water-stressed areas. Water scarcity leads to conflict. Dirty water leads to dead zones and disease. Yet there’s a paucity of media coverage of these issues.

That’s where WATERSHED comes in. Our independent, not-for-profit, investigative journalism shines a light on the water crisis in its many forms, using in-depth, rigorous, evidence-based stories which hold the powerful to account, uncover abuses, illuminate overlooked stories, and champion solutions. Working with established national and international media outlets, WATERSHED provides stories in multi-media formats to reach a wide audience.

Our values are to undertake ethical investigative journalism, using the highest reporting standards to provide coverage with due impartiality that is fair, accurate and in the public interest.
