“A Flight Along the Delaware River”: New Documentary Takes a Broad View of the Region’s Main Waterway

The Delaware River is a major waterway and holds the distinction of being the longest free-flowing river in the Eastern United States. The Delaware River Basin stretches across four states, and supplies water for drinking, industry and agriculture to over 15 million people, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. This includes portions of the Catskills, Hudson Valley and New York City, among other major regions.

A new documentary, “A Flight Along the Delaware River: Our History, Our Watershed,” aims to draw attention to the river’s importance and the urgent need to protect it.

The documentary’s producer, Meg McGuire, is also the founder and publisher of Delaware Currents, an online news magazine about the Delaware River and the people who use it. She spoke with Radio Catskill producer Chia-Tien Nicole Chen about the documentary.
