Trends in nutrient inflows to the Gulf of Mexico from streams draining the conterminous United States, 1972-93
David E. Dunn
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4113
Trends are computed for nutrient inflows from 37 streams discharging into the Gulf of Mexico. The drainage areas of these streams represent about 86 percent of the drainage area to the Gulf from the conterminous United States. The period analyzed varies for each stream, but generally includes water years 1972-93....
