Synoptic-sampling results

Accurate concentration data are equally as important as representative streamflow values for compiling a meaningful profile of constituent loads transported in a stream. The synoptic samples collected at each of the 25 mainstem sites and 29 inflow sites were analyzed for pH, concentrations of major ions, and concentrations of dissolved and total-recoverable metals (table 6, at back of report).
