Summary

This data release contains nutrient and sediment concentrations, loads, and yields from a USGS subsurface-tile edge-of-field (EOF) agricultural monitoring site. Sampling and flow monitoring were performed at the outlet of a subsurface-tile that drains 14.7 acres of cultivated cropland. The site is located in South Central Michigan and discharges into a headwater stream of the Maumee watershed. Through a cooperative agreement between the USGS and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Michigan, data was collected from May 22, 2019, through March 19, 2023. Water quality and rainfall metrics are summarized by individual flow events to evaluate the contribution of EOF losses to a headwater stream. The methods used to [...]

Purpose

This publication provides flow and rainfall data for a subsurface-tile EOF site. Daily, sub-daily, and water-quality concentration data are available through USGS Water Data for the Nation available at https://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN. This dataset combines flow totals with sampled sediment and nutrient concentrations to produce flow-weighted concentrations, total loads, and total yields for each distinct flow event. In addition, the rainfall data were summarized by runoff and rain events to provide context for seasonal and spatial differences in EOF water quality. Site characteristics are provided to describe the general characteristics of the monitoring location and the agricultural enterprises and landscape setting where monitoring occurred.
