TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of three geostatistical methods for making mean annual precipitation estimates on a regular grid of points in mountainous terrain was evaluated: (1) Kriging, (2) kriging elevation-detrended data; and (3) cokriging with elevation as an auxiliary variable.

TL;DR: A descriptive model, the Biological Condition Gradient (BCG), that describes how 10 ecological attributes change in response to increasing levels of stressors is proposed that will provide a means to make more consistent, ecologically relevant interpretations of the response of aquatic biota to stressors and to better communicate this information to the public.
Abstract: The United States Clean Water Act (CWA; 1972, and as amended, U.S. Code title 33, sections 1251–1387) provides the long-term, national objective to “restore and maintain the ... biological integrity of the Nation's waters” (section 1251). However, the Act does not define the ecological components, or attributes, that constitute biological integrity nor does it recommend scientific methods to measure the condition of aquatic biota. One way to define biological integrity was described over 25 years ago as a balanced, integrated, adaptive system. Since then a variety of different methods and indices have been designed and applied by each state to quantify the biological condition of their waters. Because states in the United States use different methods to determine biological condition, it is currently difficult to determine if conditions vary across states or to combine state assessments to develop regional or national assessments. A nationally applicable model that allows biological condition to be interp...

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of three E33-modified sorbents for the removal of phosphate from lake water was investigated by using a pseudo-second-order model, suggesting chemisorption is the mechanism of sorption.

TL;DR: Traditional fecal indicators currently used to monitor these beaches were not associated with health risks, and a need for alternative indicators of water quality where nonpoint sources are dominant fecal contributors is suggested.
Abstract: Background:Indicator bacteria are a good predictor of illness at marine beaches that have point sources of pollution with human fecal content. Few studies have addressed the utility of indicator bacteria where nonpoint sources are the dominant fecal input. Extrapolating current water-quality thresho

TL;DR: The literature findings reveal that dEfOM removal by advanced treatment processes depends on the type and the amount of organic compounds present in the aqueous matrix, as well as the operational parameters and the removal mechanisms taking place during the application of each treatment technology.
