The Philadelphia Water Department began.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Philadelphia had one of the first water systems in the USA!

I get a CHARGE out of our new water system!

1801 The Water Department

completed the City’s first water system, consisting of two pumping stations: one located on the Schuylkill River at Chestnut St.; the second (above) located in Centre Square, exactly where City Hall stands today. Untreated water was pumped from the Schuylkill to the dome at the top of the Centre Square station.

The water then flowed by gravity to the homes and businesses of the City, today called “Old City.”

Works was built, located right on the Schuylkill River. This site was chosen because it was the highest point close to Philadelphia on the Schuylkill.

It used the river’s flowing power to turn giant water wheels which powered the pumps.

Are the FISH biting?

They sure are!

Nobody will notice if I dump my trash into the RIVER!

YUCK!

1880s Although

1900

Fairmount Park had been created upstream of the Water Works to protect the City’s water supply, industry and cities farther upstream on the Schuylkill were dumping chemicals and waste into the river which flowed down into the Philadelphia water supply…people and fish were getting sick and dying!

started to

1900s The pollution in

the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers got so bad that the Philadelphia Water Department built a system of water treatment plants. At that time, it was the largest water filtration system in the world! Beginning in 1909, the treatment plants cleaned all of the river water before we used it.

What’s the difference between the land and the river?

The land is DIRTY and the river is TIDE-Y.

Huh?

So am I !

Wow! I never knew that learning about water could be so much fun! o’s

Sadly, because we now had a system for cleaning the water before we used it, we turned our backs on the rivers and pollution got worse. No fish lived in the Schuylkill or Delaware Rivers from Trenton down to Wilmington! The Water Department cleaned the water so it was safe to drink, but it didn’t taste very good!

TODAY

Wise Water Use is Important!

Yo Kids! We use water everyday, in so many ways!

When we pollute the land we pollute our water. Rain washes the trash and pollutants on the ground into our local streams or into storm drains, which lead to our drinking water supply!

The Natural Water Cycle PRECIPITATION

Water Is Con RECYCL stantl ED

y

Water vapor in clouds cools and forms water particles, which fall to the ground as snow or rain.

SURFACE RUNOFF

Rainfall that can’t sink into the ground by infiltration flows over the ground into streams.

INFILTRATION

Some rainfall sinks into the ground and eventually “percolates” down to the groundwater.

TRANSPIRATION

Plants and trees absorb water from the soil through their roots and “breathe” it back into the air as water vapor.

EVAPORATION

Water on the surface of the ground or in lakes and rivers is warmed by the sun, which creates water vapor, which rises into the air and forms clouds.

GROUNDWATER

Water is stored in the gaps of porous rock, gravel, or sand and slowly flows into streams.

CLEAN WATER is a limited RESOURCE!

The SAME water that the dinosaurs drank...is the SAME water that we drink today.

Water is constantly recycled and reused over and over again!

WOW!

DELAWARE ESTUARY?

parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, stretching approximately 133 miles from the falls of the Delaware River near Trenton, NJ to the mouth of the Delaware Bay between Cape May, NJ and Cape Henlopen, DE.

Estuaries are bodies of water where salt water from the ocean mixes with fresh water flowing off the land.

They are very important feeding grounds, habitats (homes), and nurseries for fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and tons of other creatures.

The wetlands in the Estuary clean out many pollutants from the water and help protect us from floods.

street (also called sewer inlets) are for water only. Philadelphia’s rain and melting snow pick up all kinds of pollutants as they wash over our sidewalks, streets, parking lots, and yards. All of this dirty water flows into storm drains, many of which empty into local creeks and the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers. You can help make our waterways safer for drinking, fishing, and boating by keeping pollution out of Philadelphia’s storm drains.

A Trash Truck!

TIP

2

Ask your parents to service the car regularly to prevent oils and other fluids from leaking onto the pavement and being washed down the storm drains.

People should always recycle used motor oil and antifreeze. Cars should be moved for street sweepings to allow for the removal of dirt and debris before it washes down the storm drains.
