The USGS wants to know where nutrient-rich sediment in the DC area is coming from.
Through its sediment fingerprinting project with the D.C. Department of Energy and Environment, the USGS is looking into the sources of the excess sediments that are found in Hickey Run and the National Arboretum.
Why It’s Important: This sediment contains important nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen. But too much sediment can block sunlight from aquatic plants, while excess nutrients can stimulate phytoplankton growth that use up all the oxygen in the water.

What is HIVIS?
HIVIS stands for Hydrologic Imagery Visualization and Information System.
HIVIS is a network of cameras across the United States that serve as remote “eyes on the ground,” providing the USGS and its cooperators with the ability to monitor conditions in near real-time at sites where a camera is installed.

How do land use and best management practices affect the Chesapeake Bay watershed?
To find out, USGS scientists trudge through the muddy swamp of Nassawango Creek on Maryland’s Eastern Shore for a water science partnership with Virginia Tech.

It’s not just the big rivers and streams. USGS MD-DE-DC Water Science Center scientists also collect samples from local parks. Zach and Leah collect sediment auger samples from Langdon Park in Washington DC as part of a study to find the sources of sediment runoff.

USGS hydro-techs Shane and Kelly collected water samples at Conowingo Dam. The USGS routinely samples for water-quality conditions at Conowingo Dam as part of the USGS National Water Quality Network (NWQN).

Join Ashley and Nick at Bladensburg Waterfront Park along the Anacostia River. The gage in this park is “supercharged” to monitor the “BIG 5” water-quality parameters: dissolved-oxygen concentration, pH, specific conductance, water temperature, and turbidity.
