Lower Susquehanna River Watershed Assessment (LSRWA) Report

From the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Headquarters:

From our Baltimore District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers The final Lower Susquehanna River Watershed Assessment (LSRWA) report was published earlier this year, in cooperation with the state of Maryland. The report shows that 87 percent of sediment within the Susquehanna River between 2008 and 2011 came from the upper watershed from sources like stormwater and urban and agricultural runoff. Results suggest management opportunities in the watershed that reduce nutrient delivery to the Bay that affects water quality, low dissolved oxygen, and aquatic life from high-flow events.
