The Lehigh River is one of the most endangered waterways in the country, according to a new report from the environmental organization American Rivers.
On this episode of The El-Chaar Chronicles, Karen El-Chaar welcomes Lehigh County State Rep. Josh Siegel (D-22nd) and Lia Mastropolo, Director, Clean Water Supply for American Rivers for a conversation about the report, how rivers like the Lehigh are designated as endangered, threats to the waterway, possible actions the state government can take, and more.

The El-Chaar Chronicles looks at topics less talked about in the Lehigh Valley. New episodes air periodically on Thursdays from 6:00 to 6:30 PM following All Things Considered.
