		The river where American fly fishing was born is today the scene of maverick approaches to managing freshwater ecosystems for both human and ecological needs.
		Although the river’s gurgling waters are still a mecca for fly fishers from all over the world, many of the pools where Gordon fished were drowned in the 1950s behind the Never-sink Reservoir Dam.
		With more than 80 percent of the river’s flow pumped to New York City (it is considered the metropolis’ purest source of drinking water), we are now working to develop a model for ecologically sustainable water management throughout the Delaware River Basin, one that balances human needs with those of freshwater ecosystems.

	CNN.com - Nature - EPA set to unveil huge New York river dredging project - December 6, 2000
		GE legally dumped an estimated 1.1 million pounds of the chemicals into the river from factories in Hudson Falls and Fort Edwards in New York between 1947 and 1977.
		It is generally believed that the overall PCB risk in the river has decreased but that the chemicals still pose an environmental and health hazard along the length of the river from Hudson Falls to New York Harbor.
		One major irony in the Hudson River saga is that a ban on consumption of many types of Hudson River fish, while devastating to the river's small commercial fisheries, has allowed once-threatened populations of striped bass and other fish to build up to healthy levels.
