Use of the Black Creek Database to Analyze Techniques for Estimating Nonpoint Source Loadings from Small Watersheds (May 1988).

摘要

The report describes an intensive use of the database developed during the Black Creek Project to analyze various monitoring methods applied to small watersheds. It is assumed that the primary reason for monitoring in these cases is an attempt to monitor the effectiveness of various strategies for control of nonpoint source pollution. Water quality data was collected at 16 sites within Black Creek. For purposes of the analysis described in this report, only two of these sites were considered, Sites 2 and 6. Although this report uses the Black Creek Database, loadings reported should not, in all cases, be considered official project results, since some manipulation of data was done to create a variety of sampling scenarios. Effort has been made to make it clear which data is theoretical and which is actual in this report.
