Curious about what the Delaware River Watershed even is? Here’s a quick definition. 

The Delaware River Watershed includes about 13,500 square miles of land stretching from upstate New York, through parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Its boundaries are defined by water — surface water, as well as the rain, snow and sleet that seeps into the ground or flows into the watershed’s streams, lakes and rivers. Eventually, this water makes its way into the longest undammed river east of the Mississippi.
