Report Site Map > Streamflow and Nutrient Flux for Selected Mississippi River Subbasins with Varied Sizes, Hydrology, Land Use, and Geographic Location

USGS Open-File Report 2007-1080 - Streamflow and Nutrient Fluxes of the Mississippi-Atchafalaya River Basin and Subbasins for the Period of Record Through 2005

Streamflow and Nutrient Flux for Selected Mississippi River Subbasins with Varied Sizes, Hydrology, Land Use, and Geographic Location

The following links provide access to information on streamflow and nutrient flux for 21 subbasins within the Mississippi-Atchafalaya River Basin (MARB). These subbasins vary significantly in characteristics and are representative of other subbasins within the MARB. Data from these stations and others are used in modeling relations between watershed characteristics and nutrient yields and estimating nutrient yields in unmeasured subbasins, for example the SPARROW Model (Alexander and others, 2000).
