	Schuylkill River Research
		In fact, the Schuylkill is so important that protecting its waters was one of the main reasons the city established Fairmount Park more than two hundred years ago.
		What are some of the processes that are affecting nutrients and trace metals in the river?" Researchers like Dr. Velinsky use a variety of techniques, such as spreadsheets and graphical interfaces, to visualize the system and compare what their monitoring data shows to the chemical and biological processes that they would expect to occur.
		By looking at the tidal Schuylkill over a long term, researchers are seeing the inputs of and changes brought about by nutrients, chemicals, and metals from throughout the watershed.

		Schuylkill County's history is closely tied to the story of Anthracite coal mining, and that history mirrored the growth of America for more than two centuries.
		In Schuylkill and surrounding counties, the demands of labor combined with rising tensions between the Irish-American coal mining community and the coal mine owners and operators resulted in almost two decades of terror.
		In the fertile agricultural valleys between the Blue Mountain range in the south and the Susquehanna River to the north, generations of farming families have helped feed their neighbors in the mines, on the rails, on the canals and in the towns between Port Clinton and Zion Grove.

	The Conservation Fund - Region's Water Quality Improving But More Progress Is Needed Says New Report Assessing The ...
		A Report on the State of the Schuylkill River Watershed, a 41-page report that represents three years of collaboration and studies, says a number of non-profit groups and agencies have made great strides in improving and protecting the region's water quality and environment but that more must be done.
		The report is a product of the Schuylkill River Watershed Initiative, which was formed in 1996 with lead funding from the William Penn Foundation to increase collaboration among non-profit groups and to promote a long-term vision for the watershed.
		The Initiative began with the development of a River Conservation Plan for the Schuylkill River Watershed, a comprehensive overview of the issues, threats and opportunities associated with the efforts to conserve the most intensely developed watershed in the state.

	Philly H2O: Schuylkill River Overview
		In earlier days a noble river with a bountiful and healthful drainage area of woodland, mountain and meadow, pouring a powerful and fairly equable current of pure water through its channel, the occupancy of its valley and the growth and development of population and industries from source to mouth have greatly modified its characteristics.
		The Schuylkill River, flowing as it does through the city, should be prevented from being fouled by sewage, even should the water not be used for drinking purposes.
		Most of these surveys, conducted periodically through 1946, recommended that the increasingly polluted Schuylkill and Delaware rivers be abandoned as water sources, and that upstate streams be dammed and this cleaner water brought to the city by aqueduct.

		While the mouth of the Schuylkill is found in the Delaware's estuary waters, the majority of its main stem and watershed lie in the Piedmont section of the Delaware river watershed.
		The Schuylkill River is draped in history, and is intertwined with the path of exploration and development west of the coast.
		In recent years, river scientists and managers have also realized that the degradation of our piedmont streams is not limited to pollution inputs, it includes changes to the natural flow, habitats, and stream morphology resulting from increased impervious surfaces and decreasing natural vegetation that accompanies development of the watershed.

	Schuylkill River
		The river also has some historic appeal and significance, as it was used as a commercial waterway for transporting coal from the mines in north and central Pa., as well as other goods into and out of Philadelphia Pa. in the 18th and 19th centuries.
		The river is deep (Probably the deepest of the whole stretch) on the other side of the island and is a favorite spot for skiers, as well as the local scullers who have a clubhouse there.
		The river is also not a very long run, and once you get used to a bigger body of water, like the Chesapeake Bay, this seems like floating in a bathtub by comparison.

		It is also the company that asked the city to cut off street-level, or at-grade, access to the park at Race and Locust streets in October 2004 and then on the 26th of that month bringing suit against the city of Philadelphia stating that it was the city's responsibility to have the street-level crossings closed.

	Schuylkill Canal Association
		The local Schuylkill Canal was hand-dug in 1820, and is a remnant of the Schuylkill River’s so-called "navigation." The early 1800s saw the construction of many of the eastern seaboard’s famous canals, which for many years served the function of today’s railroads and paved roads.
		In 1815 some Philadelphia businessmen created a stock company, The Schuylkill Navigation Company, whose mission was to raise enough capital to make the shallow, 108-mile-long Schuylkill navigable so that boats could bring anthracite coal from the coalfields at the head of the river, down past five county shorelines, to the port of Philadelphia.
		In December of 1995, however, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge officially declared the Schuylkill River a state "heritage corridor." This was a long-delayed recognition by the state that the river could have economic value as a tourist attraction.

	Schuylkill River
		One of the romances of Fairmount Park is attached to the little stone cottage, with overhanging roof, down by the Schuylkill River bank, where tradition says that the Irish poet, Tom Moore, briefly dwelt when he visited Philadelphia in the summer of 1804.
		The Schuylkill River is the chief tributary of the Delaware, an Allegheny Mountain stream about one ndred and twenty miles long, coming out of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal-fields, and falling into the Delaware at League Island in such a lowland region that its mouth is scarcely discernible.
		The river valley is populous, rich in manufactures and agriculture, and, as it winds through ridge after ridge of the Allegheny foothills, displays magnificent scenery.
