Maps of predicted (A) streambank, (B) floodplain, and (C) stream net sediment flux balance for each NHDPlusV2 reach in the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware River watersheds
Detailed Description
Figure 3. Maps of predicted (A) streambank, (B) floodplain, and (C) stream net sediment flux balance for each NHDPlusV2 reach in the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware River watersheds. Positive flux is deposition, negative flux is erosion.

New study shows importance of streambank erosion and floodplain deposition on sediment, phosphorus, and nitrogen sources and transport in the Chesapeake watershed
Issue: As Chesapeake Bay Program partners work to reduce pollution, knowing sources of sediment, phosphorus, and nitrogen transported to the Bay is critical for effective and efficient management. Streams and their associated floodplains have an important influence on the transport of nutrients and sediment through the Chesapeake watershed and into tidal waters. The USGS is conducting...
