A new study led by researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science reveals that
land use
in the watersheds from which this «dissolved organic matter» originates has important implications for Bay water quality, with the organic carbon
in runoff from urbanized or heavily farmed landscapes more likely to persist as it is carried downstream, thus contributing energy to fuel low - oxygen «dead zones»
in coastal waters.
There are other forces at work, including a series of geologic faults
in the delta and the rock layers beneath, but a U.S. Department of Interior report says oil and gas canals are ultimately responsible for 30 to 59 percent of

land and more stored
in rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries and
