    • Storm event loads, hydrologic metrics, and precipitation characteristics for urban and forested reference watersheds in Clarksburg, Maryland (2010-2012)

    Metadata Updated: October 30, 2025

    This dataset describes storm event loads (sediment and total particulate phosphorus), hydrologic metrics, and precipitation characteristics for storm events occurring between 2010-2012. Loads were estimated for four watersheds included in a paired watershed study; a forested reference watershed and three urban watersheds with centralized or decentralized stormwater management in Clarksburg, Maryland USA or Fairfax County, Virginia USA. Storm event loads were estimated from surrogate relations between turbidity and the water quality parameter of interest. Hydrologic metrics were determined for each storm event using the USGS stream gage instantaneous discharge record for each watershed. Precipitation event characteristics were determined from rain gage data obtained from Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection.
