Sample Collection:
Grab samples are collected monthly at the Parker and Ipswich dams, and Egypt River. Samples at Mill River and Muddy Run were taken in 1999. Water is filtered and/or partitioned for analysis for suspended solids, particulate organic nitrogen (PON), total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), ammonium (NH4), nitrate (NO3), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), particulate phosphorus (PPO4), total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), phosphate (PO4), particulate organic carbon (POC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Occasionally chlorophyll and phaeopigments in addition to stable isotopes of dissolved and particulate forms of nitrogen and carbon are analyzed.
Nutrient samples continue to be taken monthly. Monthly nutrient concentrations are updated annually in WAT-VA-Inputs. Every 2-3 years, WAT-VA-Load is updated with loading calculated from concentrations in WAT-VA-Inputs.
