The Chesapeake Bay Program's Sediment workgroup was assigned the task of developing sedimentsheds. The purpose of tje sedimentsheds is that they would be applied to determine the source of sediment that is contributing to water clarity violations in a SAV grow zone with the intent of using these results in the 2010 sediment reallocation process. The concept is expected to be similar to that of the previous determination of the airsheds which were used to determine the spatial extent of atmospheric nutrient sources affecting critical regions of the Bay.
