2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4073
To protect and manage rivers and streams (hereafter, collectively referred to as streams) in the United States, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is establishing regionally based nutrient criteria that reflect the natural variability in water quality. As a basic approach to establish these criteria, the USEPA has divided the...
Hydrologic conditions and water quality in an agricultural area in Kleberg and Nueces Counties, Texas, 1996-98
Darwin J. Ockerman, Brian L. Petri
2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4101
During 1996?98, rainfall and runoff were monitored on a 49,680-acre agricultural watershed in Kleberg and Nueces Counties in South Texas. Nineteen rainfall samples were analyzed for selected nutrients, and runoff samples from 29 storms were analyzed for major ions, nutrients, and pesticides. Loads of nutrients in rainfall and loads of nutrients and pesticides in runoff were computed. For...
