Streams 101

Why does a stream look the way it does? What lives in a stream? What is water chemistry? The answers to these questions can be quite complex, but these pages can give you a starting point to understanding some of the different ways you can look at a stream.

Much of the content of this section was taken from the Watershed Restoration Divisions publication " Streams of Maryland - take a closer look"(3.3MB PDF file).
