Adopt Your Drain

If it’s not rain, it doesn’t belong in the drain!

Adopt Your Drain provides residents of southeastern Wisconsin the opportunity to protect their watershed and communities without leaving their front yard.

Through the Adopt Your Drain program, Sweet Water helps Wisconsinites recognize the need to clear and care for local drains. We also help “adopters” make their mark by formally registering their adoption with our mapping tool!



Adopting your drain is an important step toward protecting our watersheds. Debris like litter, oil, leaves, fertilizer and other pollutants often enter our local waterways because in many areas our storm drains are a direct path to streams and rivers. Cleaning out storm drains, and the areas around these drains can help to minimize the amount of pollutants that make it to our lakes, rivers and streams. Every drain counts! Register Here to Adopt Your Drain

CITIZEN SCIENTISTS NEEDED

To build community awareness about housing injustice, UWM's Mapping Racism and Resistance is partnering with Minneapolis based Mapping Prejudice to mobilize volunteers to document racial covenants. Racial covenants were legal clauses embedded in property deeds that barred people who were not white from buying or occupying land. Elders have known for decades that covenants were widespread. But even with that community wisdom, there is a lot that we don’t know. 

How common were these restrictions? What areas of our community were reserved for white people only? How much land was restricted in this way? When were they put into place? What did they say? What are the legacies of these practices today?

Help us make a map that can answer these questions. As we do this research together, we will explore the connections between past injustices and present disparities. This is the first step toward meaningful change.

This online training session will teach you what you need to know to contribute to this project. Choose one of 2 upcoming dates and register here.
