The Surf Your Watershed project is a cooperative effort involving the
Maryland Departments of the Environment and Natural Resources to
"catalog" important environmental, socioeconomic, and programmatic
information on a watershed basis. The project provides a
database in which natural resources and biological information
(including hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality); bibliographic
references; contacts, programs and activity descriptions; and other data
can coexist and be easily obtained for watershed management, planning,
and natural resource conservation programs and projects.
A compilation of a wide variety of mapped environmental data, framed
as indicators of environmental conditions in Maryland, and the stresses
imposed by human activity on natural values.
Lists documents coded to Maryland's 8-digit watersheds that are held
at the Information Resource Center (IRC) at the Maryland Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) and at the Maryland Department of the
Environment (MDE).
Provides information about various conservation, restoration, and monitoring
projects in Maryland's watersheds. Access
Watershed Restoration Action Strategies, (WRASs), or watershed plans, that
identify priorities, opportunities, concerns, challenges, potential mitigation, restoration,
and protection sites. Find out more about this program on the
WRAS Homepage.
