Nutrient and sediment loads are changing over time in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. This presentation will describe how the USGS uses a river monitoring network to assess these water-quality trends. Recent load and trend results from this monitoring network will be presented and discussed in context with Chesapeake Bay water-quality goals.
This presentation was part of the Iowa Nutrient Research Center's Fall 2024 Seminar Series, focusing on recent trends in surface and groundwater nutrients across the US and highlighting the status of nutrients and water quality around the country, including in Nebraska, the Mississippi River, the Chesapeake Bay and Lake Erie.
