Diagram of the two types of stormwater management
Diagram of the two types of stormwater management compared in this study. The urban control site has centralized stormwater management which features a few large stormwater practices located close to the stream. The treatment watersheds have distributed stormwater management with many, small stormwater practices located further from the stream.

Freshwater Flow into Chesapeake Bay
High levels of nutrients and sediment can degrade the health of rivers and downstream bodies of water. In this photo of the Rivanna River in Virginia, large amounts of sediment are suspended in the river's water. The Rivanna River flows into the Chesapeake Bay, and too much sediment and/or nutrients can endanger the health of the Bay.
