TL;DR: A spatially explicit and structurally detailed SPARROW water-quality model reveals important differences in the sources and transport processes that control nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) delivery to the Gulf of Mexico and indicates the diversity of management approaches required to achieve efficient control of nutrient loads.
ReportDOI
Analysis and interpretation of water-quality trends in major U.S. rivers, 1974-81
TL;DR: The National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN) and National Water Quality Surveillance System (NWQSS) were used to collect data from the NASQAN and NWQSS in the conterminous United States as discussed by the authors.
OtherDOI
A statistical summary of data from the u.s. geological survey's national water quality networks
TL;DR: The US Geological Survey Operates two nationwide networks to monitor water quality, the National Hydrologic Bench-Mark Network and the National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN) as mentioned in this paper.
A spatially referenced regression model (SPARROW) for suspended sediment in streams of the conterminous U.S.
TL;DR: Suspended sediment has long been recognized as an important contaminant affecting water resources as discussed by the authors and has been identified as a medium for the transport and sequestration of organic carbon, playing a potentially important role in understanding sources and sinks in the global carbon budget.
