Evaluation of Techniques to Estimate Annual Water Quality Loadings to Reservoirs.

Abstract

Five techniques for determining annual water quality loadings were compared and evaluated according to data requirements, advantages and limitations, comparability of results, consistency of application, and technical personnel required. Recommendations were made concerning data collection in the field to characterize water quality loadings, such as suspended solids (SS), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), and total phosphorus (TP).
