  The Status of Water Quality in the Rivers and Tributaries of the Shenandoah River Watershed (3MB PDF)

  "The Shenandoah River is endangered. ... The causes are high runoff of pollution from farms and urban areas, as well as over-burdened sewage treatment plants. Fish-kills are an immediate and severe problem.

  The purpose of this report is to explore the extent and nature of the problems, where they are occurring, the causes of the pollution, what can be done to alleviate the deterioration, and to list the factors that help or hinder progress."
