PRESENT: “It is a speculative present.” FUTURE: “How do we define a clean river” #schuylkillriver #onwaterintensive

[Philadelphia Water @PhillyH2O]

We're replacing a 130-year-old reservoir with three, 30-million gal. tanks to enhance water quality & service. Each tank can supply over 8,000 Philadelphia households with 125 gallons/day for a month. More #InfrastructureWeek2018 highlights: https://t.co/Di4uje8h7H #TimeToBuild

[Schuylkill Banks @SchuylkillBanks]

Construction has begun on another bioswale along the trail, so please use caution when passing through this temporarily narrow section of the trail.

[Philadelphia Water @PhillyH2O]

Did you know all of our #infrastructure investments are funded by water bills—not #Philly taxes or state/federal funding? We'll be highlighting the crucial projects our customers make possible during #InfrastructureWeek 2018! #TimeToBuild #CleanWatersPHL #DrinkTapPHL #valuewater

Here is a really cute picture of an otter to wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day!

Anyone love fish and history as much as we do? #interdisciplinary #freshwaterfish #riveralive https://t.co/jNcDHRVvdF

[DrexelNOW @DrexelNOW]

Sarah Bowdich (1791–1856) was the first woman to undertake a detailed study of Britain’s most important freshwater fish. Her book "The Fresh-Water Fishes of Great Britain, an exceptional work of ichthyology, is housed in the @AcadNatSci’s rare book room. https://t.co/UYJj2xcqvq
