Water Quality Drivers in 11 Gulf of Mexico Estuaries
Coastal water-quality is both a primary driver and also a consequence of coastal ecosystem health. Turbidity, a measure of dissolved and particulate water-quality matter, is a proxy for water quality, and varies on daily to interannual periods. Turbidity is influenced by a variety of factors, including algal particles, colored dissolved organic matter, and suspended sediments. Identifying which...
متن کاملThe Design of Sampling Transects for Characterizing Water Quality in Estuaries
The high spatial variability of estuaries poses a challenge for characterizing estuarine water quality. This problem was examined by conducting monthly high-resolution transects for several water quality variables (chlorophyll a, suspended particulate matter and salinity) in San Francisco Bay (California, U.S.A.). Using these data, six different ways of choosing station locations along a transe...
متن کاملTrends in Playa Inundation and Water Storage in the Ogallala Aquifer on the Texas High Plains
The Ogallala Aquifer is an important source of irrigation water on the Texas High plains; however, significant decreases in saturated thickness threaten its future use for irrigation. A better understanding of the roles of playas, ephemeral surface ponds, in aquifer recharge is needed to establish levels of withdrawals that will meet either established desired future conditions or sustainabilit...
متن کاملTrends in Salinities and Flushing times of Georgia Estuaries
From 1973-1992, the Georgia EPD sponsored a monitoring program in which surface salinities were sampled regularly at fixed stations in many of Georgia’s estuaries. We used these data to examine changes in the salinities and flushing times of the Savannah, Ogeechee, Altamaha, Satilla, and St. Marys estuaries over the period of record. Water-year average salinities increased slightly over time in...
متن کاملEstimating averages and detecting trends in water quality data
The estimation of temporal averages and trends are significant elements of elaborating water qualitymanagement strategies. This paper reviews some relativelysimple statistical techniques in the context of shallow lake eutrophication control. The techniques are illustrated by analyzing measurement data from the Lake Balaton region of Hungary.
