Draft CARP Selections, Water Resources Issues

Identification and evaluation of water resources issues have been underway in the Marsh and Rock creek watersheds for some time.  Through an ongoing stakeholder process, previous studies, and technical analyses, the CARP process identified 7 issues affecting water resources availability in the CWPA: water availability, water storage, water quality, stormwater, policy and management, data availability (staff gage photo), and communication.

The magnitude and extent of the water resources issues were investigated during a number of technical analyses.  A quantitative understanding of the issues, where possible, then informed the evaluation and selection of CARP management recommendations. 

Details on the rationale behind each identified issue can be found in Section 3.2 of the draft CARP. Comments on the water resources issues section and any other CARP section are welcome and can be submitted via email (marshrockpa@gmail.com), phone (301.274.8116), or at the upcoming July 11 combined CAAC and Potomac Regional Committee meeting.
