PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — This Friday marks World Water Day, and while Americans disagree on many issues, a new survey shows there is one they are united on and that’s water.

AM Extra was joined by Jim Murphy, director of legal advocacy for the National Wildlife Federation, to discuss the poll results and how we can protect our clean water.
