Chesapeake Watershed Project
Visualizing a Sustainable Watershed
The drainage basin surrounding the largest estuary in North America is illustrated through a bird's eye view of the Mid Atlantic region. Audiences follow the natural passage of water downhill, above and below ground. These diverse landscapes range from the Appalachian Mountains through the Chesapeake Bay and to the Atlantic Coast. Along the way, we locate key ecosystems and the dynamic interventions of human populations on the flow and condition of water. How do we shape the fast changing world around us each day? Visions of economic sustainability arise throughout this story of environmental and cultural connections.
