Reclamation of the Potomac Flats at Washington, D. C.
The Potomac River from Little Falls to its mouth is a tidal stream, the tidal range being 3 ft. at Washington, and about 1½ ft. at its mouth. Above the Falls the tides have no effect whatever. The lower part of the river is broad, but there is a good channel all the way to Washington, rather shoal in a few places, and bordered on the sides with large areas of flats or marshes which support a rank growth of eel grass.
