Water and Sediment Quality of the Lake Andes and Choteau Creek Basins, South Dakota, 1983-2000;Water-resources investigations rept

摘要

The purpose of this report is to summarize and describe hydrologic, water-quality, and sedimentquality data collected during 1983 through 2000 as part of the Lake Andes/Choteau Creek water-quality monitoring program. Hydrologic and water-quality characteristics for 15 sampling stations are presented. The 15 sampling stations include 4 stations on tributaries to Lake Andes, 6 lake stations on Lake Andes, 3 stations on Choteau Creek, and 2 stations on the Missouri River. The reported results describe baseline hydrologic and water-quality conditions and trends that can be used to evaluate environmental effects of the proposed LAWIDP.
