Kayaking River Clean-Up @ Kingman Island
2023-09-08 17:15 - 18:45 (America/New_York)
An Evening On The Anacostia River
The Reservoir Center continues to advance our key pillars of education and community engagement. Most recently, we partnered with Living Classrooms and the Washington, D.C. Department of Energy and Environment for an evening of kayaking and cleanup on the Anacostia River.
After a brief introduction to the program and safety training, participants used kayaks to collect trash.
In all, we removed a lot of trash, and the data gathered from this program is critical to informing policy and education focused on reducing litter that washes into the river. It was wonderful to meet so many people who share our passion for the river and reducing marine pollution.

Innovation and Access: Water Solutions for Underserved Communities
2023-09-21 15:30 - 17:00 | Reservoir Center, 301 Water St SE, Washington, 20003, United States
We hosted a thought-provoking conversation on water access for underserved communities. Our event co-hosts included Anacostia Riverkeeper, DigDeep, Moonshot Missions, U.S. Water Alliance, Engineers Without Borders-USA, and the Rural Community Assistance Partnership.
In addition to experts representing our co-hosts, Mae Wu, Deputy Assistant Administrator for the EPA Office of Water offered remarks about the Biden Administration’s $200 million investment in technical assistance to communities to improve access. The conversation centered around investment in human capacity within communities, infrastructure, engineering, technology, and the need for human-centered design for water projects. Speakers shared inspiring experiences about leveraging existing solutions, improving relationships and the value of sharing knowledge between utilities and communities.
The event emphasized the urgency of this issue, and the opportunity we must pursue together to rise to the challenge of delivering water to communities in need.

Reservoir Center Movie Night
2023-09-26 19:00 - 21:00 | Reservoir Center, 301 Water St SE, Washington, 20003, United States
Thank you to everyone who joined us for a Reservoir Center night at the movies! It was a fun and informative evening filled with impressive films and great networking. The movies’ screened were water-focused documentaries “Upstream, Downriver” and “A River Out of Time”.
“Upstream, Downriver” takes viewers into the heart of the battle for water justice. Powerful stories with frontline community activists are interwoven with historical context about landmark regulations that significantly reduced water pollution in the U.S. but failed to serve disadvantaged communities that are hardest hit by today’s climate crisis.
“A River Out of Time” follows a crew of scientists, artists, educators, and river lovers on a trip that was simultaneously a celebration of modern river life and a critical look at how we interpret the Colorado River’s history and use its waters. In 1869, a small group of surveyors led by John Wesley Powell set out to map the unknown extent of the Colorado River Basin. 150 years later, this team set out to raft in Powell’s footsteps in an effort to reevaluate Powell’s legacy, absorb the unquantifiable power of place, and articulate what the future may hold for water in the American West.
Fernando Castro-Alvarez, Regional Liaison for the Bureau of Reclamation, provided an in-depth overview of the challenges and opportunities facing the Colorado River, along with sharing his personal connection to the water challenges confronting the western U.S. Visitors were treated to pizza, local craft beer, and popcorn. We hope you can join us for our next movie night!
Special thanks to our event co-hosts: Anacostia Riverkeeper, Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA), Women’s Aquatic Network, Potomac Riverkeeper Network

Work in Water Open House
2023-10-27 09:30 - 13:30 | Reservoir Center, 301 Water St SE, Washington, 20003, United States
The Work in Water Open House proved to be a smashing success and included more than 40 D.C. public high school students and volunteers representing an array of Reservoir Center partners and local water service providers.
The event helped students understand water challenges in their communities and allowed them to meet the people working to solve them. Students rotated through 10 activity stations designed to open their eyes to the world of water, ranging from digital water management challenges and water tower builds to mentorship with local university students and fun, blindfolded puzzle stations.
The afternoon included a panel of young professionals who shared their experiences working in the water sector, giving our guests ideas for how people of all skills and interests can contribute to positively impacting their community – and communities around the world – with clean water and sanitation.

This was another exciting event from our Careers for Change series that empowers college students and rising professionals to harness their skills and energy to have a positive impact on the world around them.
The attendees met with a group of experts, from a diversity of sectors and disciplines, leading on climate action, and left equipped to catalyze change in the communities and systems they’re a part of, be it a university, company, or neighborhood. They had the chance to meet the professionals one-on-one and have authentic conversations about their journeys, motivations, and key learnings.

Solar Eclipse Watch Party & Community Cleanup
2024-04-08 14:30 - 17:30 | Reservoir Center, 301 Water St SE, Washington, 20003, United States
The Reservoir Center was happy to host 28 participants to watch the partial solar eclipse in Washington, DC. The Reservoir Center distributed solar eclipse glasses to all as we gathered on the lawn in the Capital Riverfront Park to view the eclipse. We were graced with wonderful weather (high in the low 70s) and limited cloud cover to visualize an 87% eclipse of the sun. A member of our group even brought a telescope with appropriate solar tinting to capture images of the special event.
After the maximum eclipse had passed a portion of our group walked along the Anacostia River collecting trash and recycling to beautify our Navy Yard neighborhood. After an hour of cleaning up the community, we refreshed those calories lost by having an ice cream social outside of the Ice Cream Jubilee, which is right outside of our Reservoir Center property. Again, given the beautiful weather we were able to enjoy our treats outside where we were able to continue the engaging conversation on our respective interests during this upcoming water week.
We want to thank everyone who participated.

Kayak Clean-Up
2024-07-26 17:30 - 20:00 | Ballpark Boathouse | Potomac Ave SE, Washington, DC 20003, Diamond Teague Park Potomac Ave SE and First Street SE, Washington, DC, 20003, United States
20 Rising Water Professionals enjoyed a beautiful evening paddling on the Anacostia River and picking up trash. Common trash items collected and noted on their trash BINGO cards included: bottle caps, wrappers, plastic bottles, plastic bags, Styrofoam pieces, glass bottles, and cans. Some not so common items included a child’s doll and a full bottle of perfume.
While cleanups like this don’t help stop trash from ending up in the river, we hope events like this help make participants, and those that they seem picking up trash, think about how these items get in the river and what can be done to ensure trash doesn’t end up in our water ways.
