This historic water pumping station offers a glimpse into humanity’s important connection to water. See FWW’s virtual programs here.
The watershed provides a valuable resource -- drinking water -- to over 13 million people, including 4.5 million residents of New York City and 1.5 million residents of Philadelphia.
Sacred Grounds Wilmington, DE, encourages the connection between faith practices and environmental stewardship.
This is an illustrated map of the waterways within Lenapehoking, or the Delaware River Watershed. “Lenapehoking” means “the Land of the Lenape people,” which is mostly within the watershed of the Lenapewihittuck, or the Delaware River. It was drawn in intricate detail with pen and ink on toned paper by Meg Lemieur and guided by the cultural consultation of Trinity Norwood from the Nanticoke Lenni Lenape Nation. The original idea for this map came from local Philadelphia artist Jen Brown. This piece highlights 63 species of local flora and fauna and a legend pointing out the traditional uses of plants by the Lenni Lenape people. The map of the watershed also includes an enlarged map of Philadelphia’s current and historic waterways. Each waterway is labeled and either drawn with a thick line to indicate that it is a current waterway or a thin line to indicate that the waterway is no longer a surface stream or creek. Many of these have been turned into sewers or covered up completely. 15% of proceeds go to We Are The Seeds, a Philadelphia-based arts organization that supports Indigenous artists.
The Delaware River Watershed covers more than 13,500 square miles across four states, supplying more than 13.3 million people with clean reliable drinking water and is home to over 400 bird species. Pledge to support this critical area for wildlife habitat, birds, and people!
