Streamflow, Water Quality, and Quantification of Metal Loading in the Upper Tenmile Creek Watershed, Lewis and Clark County, West-Central Montana, September 1998

摘要

The purpose of this report is to present the results of a metal-loading study conducted on two reaches of the upper Tenmile Creek watershed during September 1998. These results describe the streamflow and quality of water in Tenmile Creek, quantify metal loads entering Tenmile Creek, and identify the predominant source areas contributing these metals. Along with the metal-loading results, this report also presents supplemental synoptic streamflow measurements that were made to determine if flow is lost from the channel along the lower reach of Tenmile Creek.
