Rhode Island Streams 1978-88, an Update on Water-Quality Conditions

摘要

The objectives of the report are to (1) determine temporal trends in concentrations and/or loads for selected water-quality constituents and (2) provide information of the spatial variations of water-quality constituents within Rhode Island streams. An earlier report, Water Quality of Rhode Island Streams (Briggs and Feiffer, 1986) summarized the water-quality data available through September 1983. The report provides an update on water-quality samples collected and analyzed since the previous report and at the same time summarizes all available water-quality data for the stations in the study.
