Diagram of the two types of stormwater management
Diagram of the two types of stormwater management compared in this study. The urban control site has centralized stormwater management which features a few large stormwater practices located close to the stream. The treatment watersheds have distributed stormwater management with many, small stormwater practices located further from the stream.

Freshwater Flow into Chesapeake Bay
High levels of nutrients and sediment can degrade the health of rivers and downstream bodies of water. In this photo of the Rivanna River in Virginia, large amounts of sediment are suspended in the river's water. The Rivanna River flows into the Chesapeake Bay, and too much sediment and/or nutrients can endanger the health of the Bay.

Tripod-Palooza
Tripod-Palooza took place in September of 2019, and was a collaborative pilot program between the USGS and multiple partners to establish a preliminary network of GPS surveying locations to help understand land subsidence.
