The Cuyahoga River is a 100-mile-long river that flows through northeastern Ohio, emptying into Lake Erie. Historically, the river suffered from pollution due to industrial waste, leading to a fire in 1969 that sparked the environmental movement. Since then, significant efforts have been made to clean up the river, including the removal of dams and pollutants. The river's hydrology is impacted by seasonal precipitation and snowmelt. There are several reservoirs along the river, including Lake Rockwell and Lake Milton, which provide drinking water and recreational opportunities such as boating and fishing. The river also supports agriculture, with nearby farms using the river for irrigation. The Cuyahoga River remains an important natural resource in Ohio, with ongoing efforts to protect and preserve its ecosystem.
