Old river men say they do not recall
when the Potomac river was as low as it is
now. The water is so low that it is impOs-
sible to use even flat-bottomed skiff in
many places. The stream is fordable in
many places. Boys wade across the river
in water not knee-deep. The low stage
of the water is seriously affecting naviga-
ton on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal as
barely enough water can be run into the
canal at several of the big dams to keep
the levels up.
