Water Resources of Monroe County, New York, Water Years 1994-96, with Emphasis onWater Quality in the Irondequoit Creek Basin. Atmospheric Deposition, Ground Water, Streamflow, Trends in Water Quality, and Chemical Loads to Irondequoit Bay

摘要

This report analyzes data from five surface-water-monitoring sites in theIrondequoit Creek basin-Irondequoit Creek at Railroad Mills, East Branch Allen Creek at Pittsford, Allen Creak near Rochester, Irondequiot Creek at Blossom Road, and Irondequoit Creek at Blossom Road, and Irondequiot Creek at Empire Boulevard. The reports present interpretive analyses of the hydrologic data collected in Monroe County since 1984. Also included are data from a site on Northrup Creek, which drains a 23.5-square-mile basin west of the Genesee River in western Monroe County, to provide information on surface-water quality in a stream west of the Genesee River and on loads of nutrients delivered to Long Pond, a small eutrohpic embayment of Lake Ontario, and data from the Genesee River for comparison of historical water-quality conditions with 1994-96 conditions. Water-level and water-quality data from nine observation wells in Ellison Park, and atmospheric-deposition data from Mendon Ponds, also are included.
