Active
By Chesapeake Bay Activities January 24, 2017

A STAC-sponsored workshop entitled, ―Lag-times in the Watershed and Their Influence on Chesapeake Bay Restoration‖ was held on October 16-17, 2012 at the Sheraton Hotel in Annapolis, Maryland.  The workshop was attended by 48 invited participants, including 9 presenters.  The workshop defined ―Lag-times‖ as the time elapsed between installation or adoption of point or nonpoint source (NPS) control practices and the effect of that practice to the targeted water body.

The goals of the workshop were to bring together a diverse set of experts who would suggest ways in which the concept of lag-times could best be represented in simulation models of the Bay and its watershed, to suggest directions for data collection and research to improve the understanding of lag-times, and how to communicate implications of lag-times in the Bay with the public and stakeholder groups.
