Abstract
This report represents modeling efforts in support of the development of a sustainable water fund (the Brandywine-Christina Healthy Water Fund, or the Water Fund) for the Brandywine-Christina basin. This effort was performed through a grant from the William Penn Foundation targeting the 13,000 square mile Delaware River Basin. The Water Fund is one of several projects undertaken in the 565 square-mile Brandywine-Christina basin, which is itself one of eight priority watersheds throughout the Delaware River Basin targeted for water quality improvements and watershed protections. The Water Fund was conceived to help return the waters of the Brandywine-Christina, the source of drinking water for over six hundred thousand residents of Pennsylvania and Delaware to fishable, swimmable, and potable status by 2025.
