List of Delaware River tributaries

The watershed of the Delaware River drains an area of and encompasses 42 counties and 838 municipalities in five U.S. states—New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware.〔Philadelphia Water Department. ("Moving from Assessment to Protection…The Delaware River Watershed Source Water Protection Plan" (PWSID #1510001) ) (June 2007). Retrieved 17 July 2013.〕 This total area constitutes approximately 0.4% of the land mass in the United States.〔 The Delaware River rises in New York's Catskill Mountains flowing southward for 419 miles (674 km) into Delaware Bay where its waters enter the Atlantic Ocean near Cape May in New Jersey and Cape Henlopen in Delaware. There are 216 tributary streams and creeks—an estimated 14,057 miles of streams and creeks—in the watershed.〔
The waters of the Delaware River's basin are used to sustain "fishing, transportation, power, cooling, recreation, and other industrial and residential purposes."〔 While the watershed is home to 4.17 million people according to the 2000 Federal Census, these bodies of water provide drinking water to 17 million people—roughly 10% of the population of the United States.〔 It is the 33rd largest river in the United States in terms of flow, but the nation's most heavily used rivers in daily volume of tonnage.〔 The average annual flow rate of the Delaware is 11,700 cubic feet per second at Trenton, New Jersey.〔
==Tributaries of the Delaware River==
The main tributaries in New York are the Mongaup and Neversink rivers and Callicoon Creek. From Pennsylvania, the major tributaries are the Lackawaxen, Lehigh, and Schuylkill rivers. From New Jersey, the Big Flatbrook, Pequest, Musconetcong, and Maurice rivers, plus Oldmans, Raccoon and Rancocas creeks, flow into the Delaware.
Tributaries are arranged generally north to south from the source of the river to its mouth, its confluence with the Delaware River, tributaries within that rivers' watershed are mentioned in notes.
