TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a newly developed flashiness index, which is based on mean daily flows, calculated by dividing the pathlength of flow oscillations for a time interval (i.e., the sum of the absolute values of day-to-day changes in mean daily flow) by total discharge during that time interval.

TL;DR: In this paper, the bioavailability of dissolved and particulate phosphorus export from major Ohio tributaries, together with their long-term TP and dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) loading data, was estimated, and they found that increased nonpoint loading of DRP is an important contributing factor to re-eutrophication.

TL;DR: The use of agricultural herbicides in the United States increased 280% between 1966 and 1981; insecticide use also increased, but only by a few per cent1. as mentioned in this paper reported that many of these compounds are more commonly present in rainfall, at least regionally than has previously been realized.

TL;DR: Analysis of concentration-flow relationships indicates that these changes are not due to weather but reflect positive and negative anthropogenic influences, and opportunities for further reductions in sediment loads and concentrations lie in better management of sediment losses during winter and spring.

TL;DR: The Heidelberg College Cooperative Private Well Testing Program as mentioned in this paper evaluated water quality in private rural wells and provided large datasets that reflect relationships between well contamination and associated factors, and support local groundwater protection and education programs.
