Video: Mighty Delaware is named river of the year by national organization
American Rivers, a national river conservation organization, has named the Mighty Delaware as the river of the year for 2020. Seventy-five years ago, the Delaware River was choked with sewage and industrial pollution. Thanks to a combination of federal and state safeguards and local innovation, the Delaware River is now considered a model for other river restoration efforts across the country.
