Datasets for Assessment of Nutrient Load Estimation Approaches for Small Urban Streams in Durham, North Carolina, 2009-2020

In cooperation with the City of Durham Public Works Department Stormwater Division, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a study to evaluate whether alternate monitoring strategies that incorporated samples collected across an increased range of streamflows would improve nutrient load estimates for Ellerbe and Sandy Creeks, two small, highly urbanized streams in the City of Durham, North Carolina. This data release provides the associated datasets described in the Scientific Investigations Report, "Assessment of Nutrient Load Estimation Approaches for Small Urban Streams in Durham, North Carolina". Water-quality and streamflow data collected between January 2009 and December 2020 were used to develop instream nutrient-load models [...]
