Welcome!

Welcome to my Blog! I will share the products and experiences of my work on Potomac Watershed. As you may noticed the name of my blog, I wish to study the tidal Potomac river for the watershed stewardship class. I picked this watershed for several reasons.

By exploring the soil data tab, I found the map of flooding frequency which shows the temporary inundation of an area caused by overflowing streams, by runoff from adjacent slopes, or by tides. In this map frequency is expressed as none meaning that the...
