  1. United States Department of Interior Downstream loading and Trends in Water Quality in the Wabash and White Rivers - USGS Jeff Frey, USGS November 4, 2011 White River at Hazleton, Ind.

  2. USGS Programs that Monitor the Wabash River System - Active • National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN) • Wabash River at New Harmony, IN (1973-1983, 1996-present) • White River at Hazleton, IN (1973-1983, 2007-present) • National Water Quality-Assessment Program (NAWQA) • White River at Hazleton, IN (1991-present)

  3. Location of the Active Wabash and White River sites Sugar Creek at New Palestine, IN, 2003

  4. Location for the Major Sub-basins of the Mississippi River

  5. Smith and others, 1982, used seasonal Kendall test at NASQAN sites for Total Phosphorus

  6. Sources of Nutrients From Nutrient Circular, Dubrovsky and others, 2010 Nutrient Primer

  7. Nitrogen and Phosphorus nonpoint inputs – come primarily from fertilizer in the White and Miami River Basins

  8. Wabash River at New Harmony, Ind. http://toxics.usgs.gov/pubs/of-2007-1080/methods.html Total Phosphorus

  9. Wabash River at New Harmony, Ind. http://toxics.usgs.gov/pubs/of-2007-1080/methods.html Nitrate plus Nitrite

  10. Total Nitrogen Loads for the Major Sub-basins of the Mississippi River … 1980-1996 average __ 5 year moving average Ohio River

  11. Total Nitrogen Flow-weightedConcentrations:Major Sub-basins of the Mississippi River … 1980-1996 average __ 5 year moving average Ohio River

  12. Total Phosphorus Loads for the Major Sub-basins of the Mississippi River … 1980-1996 average __ 5 year moving average Ohio River

  13. Total Phosphorus Flow-weightedConcentrations:Major Sub-basins of the Mississippi River … 1980-1996 average __ 5 year moving average Ohio River

  14. Nitrate Flow-weighted Concentrations: Major Sub-basins of the Mississippi River Wabash River Ohio River

  15. Ammonia Flow-weighted Concentrations: Major Sub-basins of the Mississippi River Wabash River Ohio River

  16. PO4Flow-weighted Concentrations: Major Sub-basins of the Mississippi River Wabash River Ohio River

  17. TP Flow-weighted Concentrations: Major Sub-basins of the Mississippi River Wabash River Ohio River Total Phosphorus

  18. AtrazineFlow-weighted Concentrations: Major Sub-basins of the Mississippi River Wabash River Ohio River Total Phosphorus

  19. Super Gage White River at Hazleton, IN (03374100) http://waterdata.usgs.gov/in/nwis/uv/?site_no=03374100 http://www.ipcamhost.net/test_player.jsp?id=18&path=usgs-in

  20. Suspended Sediment vs. Turbidity White River at Hazleton, IN

  21. QA/QC leads to accurate data White River at Hazleton, IN

  22. Suspended Sediment vs. Turbidity R2= 0.99 RSE = 1.359 N=13 Eagle Creek at Zionsville, IN
