Potomac River
The Potomac faces many environmental problems as a result of population growth and its resulting pressures on land and water resources.
The river flows through land controlled by developers, private owners, and state and local governments. These groups often have conflicting ideas about what is good and bad for the river. Several organizations work to protect and improve the Potomac River and the land near it.
The Potomac Conservancy is one of those organizations. It carries out a land protection program, develops land and water restoration projects, and provides education programs for adults and young people.
We hope that Americans will always take care of their historic Potomac River.
