Tidal Basin

The Tidal Basin is a lake in 2277.

Background
Before the war, it was a good fishing and boating area, with the Jefferson Memorial in its centre. But, when the bombs fell, mirelurks colonised it. The area has many row boats, tugboats, and others, and many mirelurk's and loot.

It is being fought over by the Brotherhood of Steel, The Enclave, and the super mutants, and in 2277 the Brotherhood won control of the area, as well as Project Purity. They can either use it to make pure water throughout the wasteland, or to taint it with FEV.

Appearances
Tidal Basin appears in Fallout 3.
