Summary

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and suspended-sediment (SS) loads, in Fairfax County, Virginia streams have been calculated using monitoring data from five intensively monitored watersheds for the period from water year (October - September) 2008-2017. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads were computed using a surrogate (multiple-linear regression) approach with lab analyzed N, P, and SS samples as the response variable and basic water-quality parameters (e.g. turbidity, specific conductance, pH, water temperature), streamflow, and time and seasonal terms that could be measured continuously as predictor (surrogate) variables. The load results represent the total mass of N, P, and SS that was exported from each of the Fairfax County [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this data release is to provide datasets for (1) Annual Loads (water years 2008-2017), (2) Trends (April, 2008-March, 2018), (3) Streamflow statistics (water years 2008-2017) (4) Benthic Macroinvertebrates (water years 2008-2017) trends. Additionally, essential rLoadest Input and Output files are provided.
