The Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. has been experiencing the challenges typical of urban rivers over the last 70+ years. Here, we examine six years (2014 to 2020) of base-flow geochemistry of three tidal Anacostia sites and three suburban sites. Parameters examined include pH, hardness, SAR, alkalinity, TDS, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Mn, Zn, Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Cd, Cr, Cu, Co, Mo, Ni, Pb, total P, S, Sr, Ti, NO3−, and NH4+. Not surprisingly, winter and spring months showed very high Na (means of 786 mg/L and 1000 mg/L, respectively). Plotting Na/(Na + Ca) versus TDS shows contributions from groundwater, but also differences from major world rivers. Main stem locations usually had Ca/Sr ratios &gt; 200, suggesting that concrete was the source of Ca; however, suburban sites showed high Ca as well and suburban Ca/Sr ratios were frequently &lt;200, indicating a different source for Ca. Most sites showed low median Si:NO3 ratios (between 3 and 5), suggesting elevated NO3− from non-natural sources. The data are consistent with freshwater salinization syndrome (a specific type of urban stream syndrome), and also show that the developed landscape in suburban environments influences geochemistry differently than in urban environments.
