Where’s the Water? (Gunpowder to Prettyboy Investigation)

Where is Maryland’s water going? In this video, I explore the Gunpowder River below Loch Raven Reservoir and trace it upstream to Prettyboy Reservoir to see current conditions and how the system connects. Along the way, I share what I observed in the field, talk about recent discussions around increasing water demand—including data center growth—and raise some important questions about long-term supply. This video is based on on-location footage, publicly available information, and my personal observations. Any opinions expressed are my own and are meant to encourage thoughtful discussion—not to make definitive claims. The goal here is simple: take a closer look at what’s happening and ask whether our water resources are being managed for the future.
