Md.: New homes upstream, dry farm downstream 

Okay, my home state of Maryland is not known as desert or even "dry" country, because most of the time, the state gets plenty of rain (and some snow in the winter months).

But farmers are still vulnerable to the re-arranging of creeks and streams, even when the re-arrangments are carried out on the orders of county, state and federal environmental regulators, as can been seen from the plight of Joseph Mills, a Prince George's County farmer and reported by this Baltimore Sun article.
