The Delaware Direct Watershed Partnership brings together a diverse array of stakeholders - nonprofits, community representatives, state and local government - to enhance and revitalize Philadelphia's riverfront communities. The Delaware Direct River Conservation Plan is the result of these partners coming together to achieve protection of natural resources and their sustainability in the urbanized Delaware Direct Watershed.
This virtual tour is a visual survey of the various structures, sites and points of interest along the Delaware riverfront. These photos were taken on June 26, 2007 by PWD Office of Watersheds staff.
