The Hudson River

The Hudson River is in the state New York and is 315 miles long. It starts in Lake Tear of the Clouds and Ends in the Atlantic Ocean.

USES OF THE RIVER
In the 1900's Hudson River was used as a defense in battles. But also served as a place to dump trash and sewage.

The river suffered terribly from the pollution of raw sewage and the dumping of chemicals. A law was passed in 1965 to protect the river from further pollution.

Uses of the river today

Changes in the River:
Water warms and cools, tides ebb and flood, organisms come and go, and most of all, the river bends and breaks.
A lot of this depends on the weather and season.
