The Anacostia River is one of the dirtiest rivers in the United States. It runs through Washington, D.C. For a long time, the laws that are suppose to make sure the river stays clean have been avoided or ignored. Many things have caused the pollution in the Anacostia, including development, highway runoff and urban pollution. The pollution is affecting both humans and animals. Swimming in the river is not allowed for people, and fish are dying. However, there is hope for the Anacostia. Treatments to try to clean out the river include digging out toxins and sealing off parts of the river. I think we should have a cleaner river and a better smell.

How does one "seal off" parts of the river to make it cleaner? I think this is really interesting, butI don't know how it works.
