It produces 70% of Long Island Sound's fresh water, discharging at 19,600 cubic feet (560 m3) per second.The Connecticut River Valley is home to some of the northeastern United States' most productive farmland, as well as a metropolitan region of approximately two million people surrounding Springfield, Massachusetts and Hartford, Connecticut.
