Today we are learning about the Allegheny River.
The river starts in north central PA (Potter County) and flows into western New York and then re-enters northwestern PA. The Allegheny contributes 60 percent of the Ohio River flow at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. #pacleanwaterweek

Today’s lesson is on the Delaware River.
The Delaware River is 330 miles in length - from its headwaters in New York to the Delaware Bay - making it the longest undammed river east of the Mississippi.

DYK that PA is part of six different watersheds? It's true. And we rely on each one for access to clean water. Which watershed do you live in? #PACleanWaterWeek #DelRiverWatershed

No matter where you live, local pollution will impact water quality, affecting the well-being of people downstream from you. Conservation practices like riparian buffers and rain gardens can significantly reduce water pollution runoff. #PACleanWaterWeek

Pennsylvania hasn’t contributed its fair share of funding for the Delaware River Basin Commission, even though 13.3 million people in 4 states drink water from the #DelawareRiver. Restore full fair-share funding for the DRBC at $893,000. @DRBC1961 #PACleanWaterWeek

It's #PACleanWaterWeek - we're meeting with PA legislators to advocate for funding agencies that protect clean water.
PA has 86,000 miles of streams BUT many have been degraded by threats such as over-development, stormwater runoff, abandoned mine drainage, & erosion.

The agencies that protect & restore PA's waterways require robust funding to be effective. That's why we're asking the legislature for more $$$ for DEP, @PAAgriculture, and @DCNRnews. #PACleanWaterWeek

DYK the Ohio River is 981 miles long?! It begins in Pittsburgh, winds through WV, OH, KY, IN, and IL, then converges with the mighty Mississippi. It provides drinking water for approximately 5 million residents! That's why we need to invest in #cleanwater. #PACleanWaterWeek

Happy #PACleanWaterWeek! DYK that Pennsylvania includes two of the largest tributaries for the #DelawareRiver? It's true! The #LehighRiver and #SchuylkillRiver are precious resources that provide water for drinking, farming, and recreating.

It’s #PACleanWaterWeek!
Pennsylvania has nearly 86,000 miles of streams! Sadly, one-third of those are polluted by agricultural runoff, abandoned mine drainage, or stormwater runoff. That's why we're taking action this week to restore and protect this precious resource.

Lake Erie is home to one of the largest commercial freshwater fisheries in the world. It is the Walleye capital of the world, and anglers travel from all over the world to fish these waters for Walleye, as well as for salmon and steelhead trout. #PAcleanwaterweek
