About the woonasquatucket river
The Woonasquatucket River is a 15-mile-long river that runs through Rhode Island. Historically, it played an important role in the development of the state's textile industry. Today, it is a popular destination for kayaking, fishing, and hiking. The river is fed by several small streams and has several reservoirs and dams, including the Woonasquatucket Reservoir and the Stillwater Reservoir. These reservoirs provide drinking water and hydroelectric power for the region. The river also supports agriculture through irrigation and provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife. However, the river has experienced pollution from industrial waste and sewage in the past, leading to efforts to improve water quality and restore the ecosystem.
