Dear Reader, Riverwatcher, and River Enthusiast,

The Potomac River is one of the nation’s jewels. It flows through four states (Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania) and the District of Columbia, and it is a source of water for four million residents. Always moving toward the Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac provides silent testimony of the utility and grandeur of our rivers and streams.
