National Tribal Water Council

The National Tribal Water Council is a technical and scientific body created to assist the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), federally recognized Indian Tribes, Alaska Native Tribes, and associated tribal communities and tribal organizations, with research and information exchange regarding water issues and water-related concerns that impact Indian and Alaska Native tribal members, residents of Alaska Native Villages and Indian Country in the United States.
