Conowingo Dam near Conowingo, Md.
The Susquehanna River flows south past Conowingo Dam, toward Havre de Grace, Md., on June 27, 2016. Conowingo Dam has long trapped sediment runoff orginating from farms and other sources upstream, mainly in Pennsylvania. But as the dam nears 100 years of age, its capacity for trapping sediment is now at equilibrium, meaning it can only trap sediment in the short-term, after heavy storms scour away some of the buildup behind the dam.
