      abstract = {Excerpts from the report:  The Pocomoke River is a  tributary of the Chesapeake Bay.  There are 316,100 acres  draining into the Pocomoke River which include lands from  three states (Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia) and five  counties: Worcester, Somerset, and Wicomico Counties,  Maryland; Sussex County, Delaware; and Accomack County,  Virginia.  The Water Resources Council’s hydrologic unit  number for this watershed is 02060009.  There are  approximately 95,700 acres of crop and pasture, 4,200 acres  of idle land, 195,000 acres of forest land, 3,600 acres of  herbaceous wetlands, and 13,400 acres of rural-residential,  urban, and commercial areas.  Fresh water areas account for  4,200 acres.  Drainage is impaired on 37,200 acres of the  total cropland acreage.  The basin is estimated to have  20,900 acres of interior wooded wetland included in the  forest land.   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the  water and related land resource problems and needs.  This  evaluation allowed for the development of a comprehensive  resource management plan that outlines the seriousness of  problems, the effect of existing programs on meeting  current and future needs, alternative plans that can  fulfill future needs, recommendations for solutions to  problems using a cost effective and environmentally sound  approach, and the identification of programs that can  provide technical and financial assistance for  implementation.},
