The Potomac River drains the Mid-Atlantic United States, flowing from the Potomac Highlands into Chesapeake Bay. It is 405 miles long, with a drainage area of 14,700 square miles (38,000 km2), and is the fourth-largest river along the East Coast of the United States and the 21st-largest in the United States. The river forms part of the borders between Maryland and Washington, D.C. on the left descending bank and between West Virginia and Virginia on the right descending bank.[1]

The Potomac River is featured in The Capital Threat, but only in the distance of Washington, D.C..
Starting in one month after people, while Los Angeles is returning into a desert, in Washington, D.C., there's too much water and the city begins to drown. Tim Beach stated that the water levels will be higher and floods will be greater due to the water flows through the river rather than for lifestyles. Without people, the failure of electric pumps beneath the city unleashes a deluge from the water aquifers causing the streets to flood. Another contributor to the flooding that it was a marshland when the first settlers arrived from the Chesapeake Bay and beaver dams shaped the Potomac River which create wetlands. Without park rangers to trapped and relocated the beavers, the beavers return to Washington, D.C. and starts gnawing on the cherry trees which then used to building beaver dams in the Potomac River.
In 100 years after people, the beavers were busy as usual, new tree growth on the National Mall allows it to build dams and cut new water channels on the Potomac River, continuing the flooding.
In 1,000 years, while it was not mentioned, it was seen that the area of the Potomac River around Washington, D.C. is consumed by the Atlantic Ocean due to the rising sea level that cause Washington, D.C. to become a lost city of Atlantis. As a result, the mouth of the river would now be considerably further inland from where it is today.
