The pristine quality of New York's drinking water has been historically celebrated; however, the emergence of invasive species like zebra mussels and hydrilla threatens this hard-earned reputation. The Croton system, representing the city’s first major water source, has been particularly affected, and protecting this system from further degradation is paramount to maintaining water quality for millions.
The Croton system is crucial not only for its current contributions but also for its historical significance. As the city's first large-scale water supply source, it has highlighted the importance of vigilance in maintaining its integrity, especially with the backdrop of invasive species altering the water ecosystem.
