Assessment of Wetland Water Quality Services Across an Alteration Gradient on the Choptank River watershed

Objectives

Build a conceptual model of ground water flow for wetlands and hydrologically linked streams in different geomorphologic settings. This model will address, in particular, the connectivity of wetlands in different geomorphologic settings to ground and surface waters. If data on the gydrology of degraded or restored wetlands is available, it will also be incorporated into the conceptual model. This information will be presented as a written report and used as input for the predictive landscape analysis tool.
