- ‘A river in recovery’: Local advocates describe Anacostia River’s current condition
The Anacostia River in D.C., once heavily polluted, is showing signs of recovery with returning wildlife and improved water quality. Advocates credit the D.C. Water’s Clean Rivers Program and stormwater infrastructure, but warn that climate change, development, and aging infrastructure remain threats.
- Say hello to ‘Bob,’ the newest way to monitor pollution in DC-area rivers
Buoys named 'Bob' are being used in the Potomac, Anacostia, and Shenandoah rivers to monitor water quality in real time. A new dashboard allows public access to data on temperature, salinity, and pollution. The initiative involves the Reservoir Center for Water Solutions, Xylem Water Solutions, and local advocacy groups.
