đź’¨ Abstract
The article discusses local efforts to enhance water supply resilience in the Potomac River basin. With concerns over drought and contamination, utility companies are converting old quarries into reservoirs. Loudoun County is building a billion-gallon reservoir, and Fairfax County's Vulcan Quarry will become the Edgemon Reservoir. While some areas have backup supplies, D.C., Arlington, and Falls Church lack a contingency plan for Potomac River contamination.
