The Anacostia River is very polluted and nasty because of negligence.
Between 75 and 90 percent of the Anacostia river is mostly polluted because of storm water and street runoffs.
The water also change colors during times and its chloroform it make the water turn green.
The Anacostia River stretches from Maryland to Washington so it’s a really bad problem for a lot of people.
The Anacostia watershed society announced they were going to sue Washington water and sewer authority in 2004.
Extra Question: Did you know that you can not eat the fish out the Anacostia River?
