“Our Shared Waters – A History of Improving Water Quality Through Partnership” will be presented in an online-only program by Elizabeth Brown at 7 p.m. Jan. 18.
Pollution in the Delaware River was recognized as a problem as early as the 1700s and caused waterborne illnesses and fish kills.
Today, the Delaware River is cleaner than it was back then. But what’s the backstory? The history of the Delaware River Basin Commission is a story of shared water resource management, the benefits of which area residents enjoy today.
The river still faces challenges to its sustainability, and today the DRBC works to ensure water security for over 13 million people in four states.
“The lecture will highlight the Delaware River Basin Commission’s work managing and improving our shared water resources, the state of our basin, and the many stakeholder groups and partners who support its continued sustainability now and for future generations.”
Elizabeth “Beth” Koniers Brown is the director, external affairs and communications for the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC).
