The State of the Severn River 2018 The State of the Severn River 2018 ITS ALL ABOUT THE TRIBLETS Andrew C. Muller, Ph.D. Diana L. Muller, M.S. Associate Professor Executive Director Oceanography Department Maritimas United States Naval Academy Annapolis, MD. Severn River Association Severn RIVERKEEPER Dr. Muller, Professor of Oceanography, USNA Diana Muller, Executive Director, Maritimas Keith Underwood for his boat Mark Lister for his field work and boat John Page Williams- Chesapeake Bay Foundation And all of the volunteers Methodology Weekly from July to end of October the Severn River Partnership performed vertical water quality monitoring in the tidal estuary using a YSI Pro multi-meter for dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, salinity, and water samples for bacteria. Dr. Andrew Muller and Capt. Diana Muller trained the Severn River Partnership volunteers by strict QA/QC guidelines as per EPA Chesapeake Bay program methodology and the Maryland Tributary Assessment Coalition (EcoCheck, 2011). The statistical analysis was performed by Dr. Muller and Capt. Muller by MTAC protocols and standard statistical analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using Sigma Plot 12. ArcGIS Pro was utilized to process Landsat 8 and 5 LIDAR data, Google Earth Pro was used to display urban and shoreline changes over time (USGS, 2018) (Globe, 2018). Nutrient data was provided by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.

The climatic conditions were heavy rain events; July 17, 2018, 3.35 inches, July 21, 2018, 4.79 inches, July 24, 2018, 4.07 inches, September 9, 2018, 2.23 inches, and September 18, 2018, 2.22 inches. Overall there were 130 rain events with over 63 inches of rain. These heavy rain events dropped the salinity of the Severn River triblet to a median vertical profile of 4.46 PSU (practical salinity units) (n=1182), the healthy range for the salinity of this triblet is 10PSU. Conclusions • It is important to understand the complete system when attempting to make important policy decisions regarding restoration. • Physics dominates and controls the system, no coriolis and no sloshing of water in and out by tides, • Hypoxia and anoxia are locally controlled (it’s the creeks!!!) • Susquehanna River is NOT the main polluter to LWS Rivers. • All water quality parameters are cyclical. Annual scorecards don’t tell the full story. • Temperature is critically important, as the system appears to be responding to inter-annual variations. • CDOM and Obs are potential ways to track restoration effectiveness • HSI and WDI are promising metrics • Need more studies on restoration effectiveness, including BAAs, long-term studies and downstream measurements mainly tidal. • Rehabilitation for Ecological Resilience not Engineering Resilience Thank You Andrew Muller, Ph.D & Diana Muller, M.S https://maritimasusa.org/.
