is a community-based grassroots organization concerned with the conservation, preservation and restoration of the Indian Creek Watershed in Fayette and Westmoreland Counties. MWA's major purposes include bringing about remediation of the numerous abandoned mine discharges in the watershed, developing community awareness, promoting cooperative community efforts for restoration and encouraging sound environmental practices.

In 2003, MWA became home of the Youghiogheny Riverkeeper, a program that has expanded the vision of the organization into the larger Youghiogheny River basin through a partnership with the international Waterkeeper Alliance.
