Researchers shed light on river resiliency to flooding
The researchers estimated the recovery time of river productivity in Sligo Creek in Maryland, about 30 miles southwest of Baltimore, to be about 12 days, which is greater than the median recovery time of 7.3 days across all sites in the study and more typical of narrower rivers.
