SUMMARY:Clean Water Act @50: History Talk With Philadelphia Water Historian Adam Levine
DESCRIPTION:Thanks largely to investments and regulations stemming from the Clean Water Act of 1972\, the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers are now cleaner than they have been at any time in the past century. \nPhiladelphia Water Department Historian Adam Levine will look at how a rising tide of pollution in the 19th and early 20th centuries affected the well-being of the city’s residents and the region’s overall ecological health\, and how that tide has since abated. \nLevine will illustrate how tighter controls on industrial and sewage discharges in Philadelphia and in upstream communities have led to significant improvements in both the quality of the river water and the livability of the riverfronts. \nRegister for this free talk here.

SUMMARY:Clean Water Act @ 50: Virtually Tour the Plants that Saved Our Rivers
DESCRIPTION:This virtual tour will take virtual visitors behind the scenes at the City’s Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant to follow polluted wastewater step by step through the treatment plant until the cleaned wastewater is cleaner than the Delaware River itself and can be discharged safely to it. \nPhiladelphia’s sewers and the City’s three water pollution control plants\, including its award-winning Southeast Plant – all repaired\, rebuilt\, and/or expanded under the Clean Water Act – have played a major role in making the region’s streams\, small and large\, cleaner from the City’s northern limits to the mouth of the Delaware Bay. These streams 50 years ago were: polluted with sewage\, industrial waste\, and trash; unfit for recreation; unhealthy for habitation by aquatic wildlife; and\, barely useable as potable water supply. Today\, 50 years after passage of the Clean Water Act\, the region’s streams are valued by the public for their abundant natural resources\, for the many recreational opportunities they offer\, and as the source of drinking water that is potable and tastes good. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:High Water: An Informal History of Flooding in Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:When a city is built along a river—and Philadelphia is wedged between two\, the Schuylkill and the Delaware—floods are an inevitable occurrence\, with sometimes tragic consequences. In this illustrated talk\, environmental historian Adam Levine will talk about some of the worst floods ever to hit Philadelphia\, beginning in the early 1800s and ending up with Hurricane Ida in 2021. He will also discuss the causes of different types of flooding that occur in urban areas\, and what we can do to help mitigate future floods. \nLevine has been delving into the history of Philadelphia’s rivers\, streams\, and water supply and drainage systems since 1998\, as a consultant to the Philadelphia Water Department and as webmaster of waterhistoryPHL.org. His talks are always illuminating\, and this one will include rarely-seen pictures\, maps\, and stories that he has uncovered in his years 25 years of research. \nAdam Levine’s presentation kicks off SUBMERGED: A Changing Global Climate a special exhibition theme centered on flooding and Global Climate Change. The exhibition is directed by Karen Young for the Fairmount Water Works and curated by Thom Duffy. The exhibition’s purpose is to bring focus to historic and current extreme weather events impacting our region and the Planet’s struggle for survival. The show opens on EARTH DAY\, Saturday\, April 22 and closes July 29.
