Nonpoint-Source Discharges in Pequea Creek Basin, Pennsylvania, 1977 (open access)

Nonpoint-Source Discharges in Pequea Creek Basin, Pennsylvania, 1977

From abstract: The objective of this project was to assess the magnitudes and types of nonpoint discharges that affect the water quality of Pequea Creek. The project included the determination of (1) the total discharge of suspended sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus from the basin; (2) intermittent storm and base-flow discharges from six subbasin sites of varying size, geology, and land use; (3) the difference in magnitudes of the discharges during base-flow periods and storms; and (4) which variables most affect the transport of these constituents.
