Estimating Tributary Phosphorus Loads Using Flow-Weighted Composite Storm Sampling
Quantification of total phosphorus (TP) loads entering a lake or reservoir is important because phosphorus is most often the limiting nutrient in terms of algae growth, thus phosphorus can control the extent of eutrophication. Four methods for assessing the annual tributary phosphorus loads to two d...
