Lag Times in the Watershed and Their Influence on Chesapeake Bay Restoration

The goal of the workshop is to bring together a diverse set of experts who can suggest ways in which the concept of lag-times can be represented in simulation models of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The workshop outcome will be a set of recommendations to the Chesapeake Bay Program regarding data collection, research, model development, policy development, and public communication that furthers a better incorporation of realist representations of lag times in Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts.
