Prediction of Non-Point Pollution of Streams and Rivers.

Abstract

This study investigates the utility of a nonpoint pollution model and its various included terms as predictors of average annual nonpoint stream loads of sediment nitrogen and phosphorus. The model as a whole was found to be of marginal value but the basin area term was found to have high correlation to total nonpoint pollutant loads. The logarithms of the unit area loads of soluble nitrogen and phosphorus were found to be normally distributed allowing means, standard deviations and probabilities to be calculated. (Author)
