Maryland draws drinking water from the Potomac River, Susquehanna watershed reservoirs, and Coastal Plain aquifers. Lead from older plumbing is a key concern in Baltimore, which has been replacing lead service lines. Agricultural nutrient runoff on the Eastern Shore contributes to nitrate levels in shallow groundwater.
