Chesapeake Bay Water-Quality Loads and Trends
Explore resources here describing water-quality load and trend results for nontidal rivers of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The health of the Chesapeake Bay is largely driven by changes in streamflow and the amount of pollution it contains. Runoff in the Chesapeake Bay watershed carries pollutants, such as nutrients and sediments, to rivers and streams that drain to the Bay. Scientists use...
