Oklahomans for
Responsible Water Policy
(ORWP)
Oklahomans for Responsible Water Policy (ORWP) believes that natural resource management decisions should be guided by science and not politics. Our diverse 15-member board of directors represents a rapidly growing body of membership from across the state and the region.
ORWP’s amicus brief was influential in the US Supreme Court’s 2013 unanimous ruling in favor of Oklahomans. Although cause to celebrate, ORWP realizes that the protection of Oklahoma’s water resources is a multi-generational commitment, and we are here to undertake that challenge.
About Us
Oklahomans for Responsible Water Policy (ORWP) is a grassroots organization formed in March 2010 that is made up farmers, ranchers, business owners, landowners, elected leaders , environmental advocates and many others. Focusing on water, ORWP’s core mission is to preserve and protect the economy, agriculture, environment, habitat and local beneficial uses of all the water in Southeastern Oklahoma.
