Table 7. Estimated long-term mean annual trace-metal loads and flow-weighted concentrations of cadmium, lead, and zinc at four streamflow-gaging stations in the Spokane River basin, Idaho.

[Long-term records are for the periods: Enaville (1992-2004), Pinehurst, Harrison (1991-2004), and Post Falls (1991-2003). Abbreviations: m3/s, cubic meter per second; µg/L, microgram per liter. –, no estimate]
