Project Summary: A water budget is a technique to describe and understand how and when water enters and leaves a watershed, through precipitation, river or stream flow, evaporation, or groundwater flow. Examining past water budgets for a watershed can give insight into patterns of droughts or wet spells. This project will produce water budgets for several Maryland coastal plain watersheds that lie adjacent to or nested within each other.
