	The Pawcatuck River
		The glacially formed Pawcatuck River watershed spans an area of 317 square miles—260 square miles in Rhode Island and 57 square miles in Connecticut.
		The first known users of the Pawcatuck River were the Native American Indian tribes of Niantic, Pequot, and Narragansett, who hunted and fished throughout the extensive watershed.
		Improvement of water quality conditions in the river and estuary began when the textile industry collapsed, reducing the volume of wastewater entering the river, and continued with the construction of sewage treatment facilities in Westerly and Pawcatuck.

		The western boundary was to be the Pawcatuck river to its head, and thence due north to the Massachusetts line.
		Originally the eastern boundary of Connecticut (see that state) was to have been the Narragansett river or bay; but this charter stipulated, with the consent of the Connecticut agents, that the Pawcatuck river should be "taken and deemed to be" the Narragansett river mentioned in the Connecticut boundary.
		Connecticut repudiated the action of her agent, claimed jurisdiction over the Narragansett country, east of the Pawcatuck, both by her charter and by conquest from the Indians, and pressed her claim by all legal means, by appeal to the New England union, and by preparations for force.

	Company wants to grow oysters in river
		Stewart explained that nitrates from the sewage treatment facilities have fueled the growth of algae, both macro-algae, and micro-cellular algae, which is the algae that blooms in the spring and covers the top of the surface.
		Stewart said that the river used to be full of oysters and scallops, before the algae robbed the river of viable oyster bedding, morphing the sand and rock into mud and silt.
		Murphy said although the plan to lease the river property to Denison is not set in stone, he is optimistic that Stewart will begin growing the oysters in the river this spring.

	SIR 2004-5020, Estimated Water Use and Availability in the Pawcatuck Basin, Southern Rhode Island and Southeastern ...
		In 1988, the Pawcatuck Basin (302.4 square miles) in southern Rhode Island (245.3 square miles) and southeastern Connecticut (57.12 square miles) was defined as a sole-source aquifer for 14 towns in southern Rhode Island and 4 towns in southeastern Connecticut.
		To determine water use and availability, the six subbasins in the Pawcatuck Basin were delineated on the basis of the surface- and ground-water system drainage areas.
		A long-term hydrologic budget was calculated for the Pawcatuck Basin to identify and assess the basin and subbasin inflow and outflows.
