Garcia, L.A., 2023, Nutrient and sediment concentrations, loads, and yields in the upper Macoupin Creek watershed, water years 2018–2021: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P95IC7QS.

Summary

This data release includes estimates of annual and daily concentrations and fluxes for nitrate plus nitrite, total phosphorus, and suspended sediment for two sites in the Upper Macoupin Creek Basin watershed (UMCB) produced using the Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season -- Kalman Filter (WRTDS-K; Zhang and Hirsch, 2019) model in the Exploration of and Graphics for RivEr Trends (EGRET) package (Hirsch and De Cicco, 2015). It also includes a model archive (R scripts in Scripts.zip) used to retrieve and format the model input data and run the model. Input data, for Macoupin Creek at Highway 111 near Summerville, Illinois, and Macoupin Creek at Highway 108 near Carlinville, Illinois (U.S. Geological Survey site numbers 05586745 [...]

Provenance

Data collected and processed by L.A. Garcia, P.J. Terrio, and A.E. Manaster of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the American Farm Trust and Macoupin Soil and Water Conservation District. Input data from the USGS National Water Information System (USGS, 2021) were used to run the Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season-Kalman model and estimate outputs of daily, monthly and annual concentrations and flux for nitrate plus nitrite, total phosphorus, and suspended sediment for two sites in the Upper Macoupin Creek watershed.
