Biography
Matthew Pajerowski is a Supervisory Hydrologist in the Studies Section of the MD-DE-DC Water Science Center. In his current role, he provides programmatic and technical direction to the Section, and oversees the activities of a diverse group of scientists and technicians carrying out investigations of groundwater quality and movement, contaminant hydrology, fate and bioremediation of contaminants, and water use. Past study interests have included water availability and water supply, drought monitoring, and the impacts of sea level rise on shallow groundwater. He serves as the Vice-Chair of the Board of the Maryland Water Monitoring Council. From his previous experience in water-resource planning, regulation, and management, Mat maintains an interest in how science can support and inform sound resource policy decisions at all levels of government.
Science and Products
North Atlantic-Appalachian AI/ML Capabilities
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) includes a broad suite of flexible data-driven empirical approaches to perform tasks that are difficult to implement using conventional methods. AI and ML harness the power of computing resources to evaluate the underlying patterns and relationships within a dataset without explicit instructions.

Anacostia Water Quality Monitoring Project
The broad goal of the study is to significantly expand data collection at the Northeast Branch Anacostia and Northwest Branch Anacostia to include water-quality sampling and analysis for a wide suite of natural and anthropogenic constituents (nutrients, sediment, metals, bacteria, and organics such as PCBs and PAHs).

Anacostia Water Quality Monitoring Project
The broad goal of the study is to significantly expand data collection at the Northeast Branch Anacostia and Northwest Branch Anacostia to include water-quality sampling and analysis for a wide suite of natural and anthropogenic constituents (nutrients, sediment, metals, bacteria, and organics such as PCB (Polychlorinated Biphenyls) and PAH (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).
MD-DE-DC WSC Water Use & Water Supply Capabilities
The MD-DE-DC WSC works with state and local agencies to collect, estimate, review, and compile water use information. Data are used in USGS groundwater and watershed models, and other USGS studies. The data are also compiled and incorporated into the USGS national estimates of water-use. WSC staff currently participate in various national water use projects focused on improving water use...
MD-DE-DC WSC Seminar Series
Water Science Seminar Series
Please feel free to join us as water science professionals from the realms of federal, state, local governments, academia, and private practice meet to present this series of discussions about water-related topics in the region (Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, D.C.).

MD-DE-DC Groundwater Capabilities
Our region's water supply comes from streams and rivers, groundwater, and reservoirs. Areas not served by public-water supply rely on groundwater withdrawn from fractured rock aquifers in western Maryland, or surficial (water table) and confined aquifers in southern Maryland, Delaware, Washington, D.C., and the Eastern Shore.

MD-DE-DC WSC Groundwater Studies Team
The U.S. Geological Survey provides unbiased, timely, and relevant information, studies, and data about groundwater resources of the Nation. The USGS monitors groundwater levels in thousands of wells across the U.S. Hundreds of these wells are located in Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. The MD-DE-DC Water Science Center logs data on approximately 370 groundwater wells...
MD-DE-DC WSC Capabilities Sites
There's a lot of talent at the Maryland, Delaware, Washington, DC Water Science Center!
We’ve created a series of websites, thematically named to characterize our work as our “Capabilities”, working interdependently with a diverse array of cooperative partners, the scientists, technicians, and support staff work tirelessly to produce the high-quality output for which...
Maryland Storm-Tide Sensor Network Strengthened
Vital coastal storm-tide information needed to help guide storm response efforts following major storms affecting Maryland will be more accessible than ever due to a new monitoring network the U.S. Geological Survey is currently building.
