Annual Lower Potomac Tributary Wade

The Annual Lower Potomac Tributary Wade In is Sunday, June 22nd from 1 to 5 pm along the shoreline at Mirant's Morgantown Generating Plant.

A wade-in focuses on the health of the Potomac River. Each year, an official depth measurement is recorded at which participants can no longer see their sneakers by looking through the water.

Seemingly unscientific, the measurement is valuable over time. As annual depths increase, sediments and other harmful particles that impact water clarity decrease. Reductions in depth measurements mean there are more sediments.
