The Connecticut River that we look at every day recently became the first National Blueway, thanks to a collaborative process through which the Department of the Interior and the four states of the Connecticut River Watershed Council (CRWC) "prioritized conservation, recreation and restoration in the Connecticut River Watershed."
A Blueway is a designation that acknowledges how this river enriches so many aspects of our quality of life. CRWC is currently focusing efforts on water quality monitoring groups in the watershed. The website www.ConnecticutRiver.us allows river users to access bacteria date for sites along the river.
