About the manasquan river
The Manasquan River is a 26-mile-long river that runs through central New Jersey, flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. The river's hydrology has been altered over time due to human activity, including the construction of reservoirs and dams. The most notable of these are the Manasquan Reservoir and the Manasquan Dam, which were built in the early 20th century to provide a reliable source of drinking water for the city of Newark. Today, the river is used for recreational activities like fishing, boating, and kayaking, and is also an important source of irrigation for local agricultural operations. Despite some environmental concerns related to pollution and habitat destruction, efforts are being made to preserve and restore the Manasquan River ecosystem.
