Isaias poured floodwaters on the Heinz Refuge in August. It’s been rising above them since

Darby Creek, a tributary of the Delaware River, runs through the refuge. Heavy rains from Isaias caused the creek to overflow into Philadelphia’s Eastwick neighborhood as well as the refuge’s entrance way and most of its major trails. | WHYY

From the Source: Stories of The Delaware

From the Source: Stories of the Delaware is a year-long collaborative reporting project covering the Delaware River and the watershed feeding it from multiple angles — water quality, environmental challenges, climate change, recreation, history, and how it all converges to define our region and inform life here.

Through words, images, audio, videos, and interactive graphics, we will take readers from the Catskills to the Water Gap; through muddy, secret fishing holes and urban centers, to where the river melds with the bay.

From the Source: Stories of the Delaware River, is produced with support from the National Geographic Society, the Lenfest Institute for Journalism, and the William Penn Foundation. Editorial content is created independently of the project’s donors.
