Tidal Basin

The Tidal Basin is a reservoir found in the Capital Wasteland .
==Background==
The irradiated basin is filled with many row boats and tugboats.The Lone Wanderer: "Anything I should know about this place?"Alex Dargon: "I'd steer clear of the water if I were you. It's seeping in from the Tidal Basin, which means it's radioactive. If that's not bad enough, if there are any loose wires as the power comes back on... you might get a bit of a jolt. Know what I mean?"(Alex Dargon's dialogue) Its surrounding territory is fought over by the Brotherhood of Steel, the Enclave, and the super mutants that occupy downtown Washington, D.C. Project Purity is an initiative underway in the nearby Jefferson Memorial.The Lone Wanderer: "What exactly is this 'Project Purity'?"James: ""(James' dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "What was the point of it?"Madison Li: "It was simple, really. 'Fresh, clean water for everyone.' Such a simple idea, and yet so impossible to realize. The plan was to build a facility that could purify all the water in the Tidal Basin at once. No radiation, no muck, just clear water. It just turned out to be more difficult than we anticipated."(Madison Li's dialogue)
