Phosphorus in Streams of the Upper Tennessee River Basin, 1970-93
Abstract
In 1994, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began an investigation to assess the water-quality conditions in the upper Tennessee River Basin. The investigation was implemented as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program, which is designed to describe in a nationally consistent manner the status of and trends in the quality of a large representative part of the Nations's surface-and ground-water resources and to relate assessment of status and trends to the natural and human factors that affect the quality of water. When the NAWQA Program is fully implemented, water-assessment investigations will be ongoing in 60 study units across the Nation (Leahy and others, 1990). The general concepts of the NAWQA program are outlined in a report by Hirsch and others (1988).
