Stormwater Outreach in downtown DC!

I was in DC in October 2020. When I was getting my post-airplane flight COVID test I was stupidly excited to see that the tent was set up in an area featuring multiple types of pavement, including permeable pavers.

When I was looking for the project placard, I saw that the local hydrologists had turned the USGS Potomac River monitoring station into an outreach opportunity. It was a nostalgic monitoring moment for me. This was probably one of the prettiest public-facing stations I've seen. I'll admit to gushing to the person doing the testing. You could see the confused bemusement crinkling her eyes above the mask.
