    Great facility that man / woman should definitely see during a visit...

      A huge water reservoir keeps the level and flow of the Washington Channel constant. The pool automatically fills with water from the Potomac River during high tide while the exit to the Washington Channel is kept closed. During low tide, the channel is flooded with the backwater, which stabilizes the direction of flow. Furthermore, the construction holds back the sediments. Due to the rising sea level, the water now floods the shores twice a day.
