	Passaic River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The river in it upper course flows in a highly circuitous route, meandering through the swamp lowlands between the ridge hills of rural and suburban northern New Jersey, draining much of the northern portion of the state through its tributaries.
		Starting in the late 18th century, the river was highly significant in the early industrial development of New Jersey, providing a navigable route connected by canals to the Delaware River.
		In particular the stretch of the river along downtown Newark came to be regarded in the later decades of the 20th century as particularly wretched.

		Whippany, as it is now called, is a district within the township of Hanover with a land area of 6.9 square miles.
		The river was named for the trees that dominated the moist land along its banks, and the name was expanded to include the meadows and forests surrounding it.
		Whippany was once a rather sizable territory when it was known as Whippenny Township and it has the distinct honor of being the original name of all of the land now known as Morris County.

		An initial study of the Whippany, six years in the making, determined phosphorous in the river exceeds state-recommended pollution standards.
		Much of this treated sewage is pulled out of the river by drinking water purveyors such as New Jersey American Water Co., which treats the reclaimed water before selling it to customers in Chatham, Chester, Florham Park, parts of Mendham Township, Mendham, Harding, Long Hill and Mount Olive.
		Officials at the state Department of Environmental Protection said setting tighter pollution standards for the Whippany now, before the Passaic River study is complete, could pose an unfair burden for the treatments plants because the standards may shift later.

	Flow and Water Quality Modeling of Passaic River Watershed
		The calibrated hydrologic and water quality coefficients for the Whippany River watershed are also expected to be applicable, after minor adjustments, to the Passaic River watershed upstream of Paterson.
		The degrees to which flow and water quality might have been affected by wetlands and water withdrawal in the Passaic River upstream of Paterson could also be initially assessed using the BASINS tool.
		Due to the natural and planning complexities of the Passaic River watershed, modeling modules more advanced than those currently included in BASINS 3.0 are expected to be needed in the future, at least for some segments and/or characteristics of the watershed.
