Drinkable, Swimmable, Fishable: Clearwater Celebrates 50+ Years of the Clean Water Act Join the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater on Friday, April 14 for a symposium on the Clean Water Act to reflect upon the progress made in the 50-years since its passage, explore its limitations, and discuss opportunities and emerging threats to continued progress toward a swimmable and fishable Hudson River.
