Until Baltimore City stops wasting gallons of water with it's antiquated piping systems, and begins restoring the rivers below Liberty and Loch Raven, the city will be a blight on the state environment. So much ado is made about the Bay, and restoring it to acceptable levels, while two substantial freshwater tributaries are majorly impeded much of the year.
Baltimore's cavalier attitude towards the health of the freshwater portions Gunpowder and Patapsco River is nothing short of gluttonous and disgusting.
Tell me how great things are the next dry cycle, when the last 12 miles of the Gunpowder river are just a pile of wet rocks for six months straight, or the Patapsco has over 1/2 of it's volume interrupted by a dam that only overflows at all, 6 out of 10 years.
Liberty, and the new Loch Raven dam have the capability of minimum continuous discharges, and do not do so. Proper management of these resources would ensure drinking water for everyone, and restore the rivers to at least a passable state.
