	Anacostia River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Anacostia River is a river that flows about 8.4 mi (13.5 km) from Prince George's County in Maryland, USA and through Washington, D.C. where it empties into the Potomac River at Hains Point.
		One of the biggest problems facing the Anacostia River is raw sewage that enters the river and its tributaries due to antiquated sewer systems.
		The Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS) sued the Washington, D.C. Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) in 1999 for allowing more than 2 billion US gallons (7,600,000 m³) of combined sewage and storm water to flow into the river via its antiquated combined sewer overflow system.

	Maryland Marine Notes: January-April 99 Spotlight - Bringing the Anacostia Back
		While the Anacostia may seem unimportant compared with Baltimore Harbor and the Elizabeth River, two of the east coast's major ports, high levels of toxic compounds and the proximity of a dense human population make it a key cause for concern.
		Like all troubled coastal systems, many of the Anacostia's problems originate on the land, in the erosion of soils from farms and suburban areas, in the runoff of contaminants in stormwater and in the airborne pollutants that fall onto the watershed.
		There are estimates that 85 percent of the sediments from the Anacostia's tributaries are trapped in the tidal river - that is why controlling runoff from Montgomery and Prince George's counties, as well as the District, is so critical.
