These data provide insight into the relative magnitude of chemical attenuation which occurs in stormwater percolate (infiltrate) in unsaturated sand under a vegetated swale.

Show moreThe purpose of this investigation was to determine the quality of highway runoff and to assess its effect on the distribution of selected chemical constituents contained in the water of the unsaturated and saturated zones of the surficial aquifer. These data provide insight into the relative magnitude of chemical attenuation which occurs in stormwater percolate (infiltrate) in unsaturated sand under a vegetated swale. The scope of the study included chemical analyses of lithologic material at two test sites and one control site, and chemical analyses of stormwater runoff collected from the swale, water from the unsaturated zone, and water from the saturated zone underneath the swale at two test sites. The period of study was May through November 1983. The chemical constituents selected as tracers were lead, zinc, iron, cadmium, chromium, nickel, mercury, nitrogen, and phosphorus. These constituents are ocmmonly used as gross indicators of urban contamination. This report presents the results of data primarly analyzed using analysis of variance techniques. A complete listing of the results of chemical analyses also is presented.

Chemical Quality of Water in Conservation Area 2A and Associated Canals
Title
Chemical Quality of Water in Conservation Area 2A and Associated Canals.
Name/Creator
Gleason, Patrick J.
Abstract/Description
This document reports the results of a 1972-1973 study of the chemical quality of water in Florida's Conservation Area 2A and adjacent areas. Chemical quality was good, with two exceptions: 1) specific conductance of marsh and canal water exceeded water quality standards, and 2) ammonia in canals frequently exceeded standards. The spring drawdown of Conservation Area 2A had no determinable effect on water quality. The concentrations of various ions showed linear relationships.

This report presents proposed locations of wells for monitoring chloride concentrations in the coastal margin of the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Selection of well sites was based on ground-water movement, centers of ground-water withdrawals, areas of increasing chloride concentrations, and the 1979 position of the 250-mg/L line of equal chloride concentration in the upper part of the Floridan aquifer.

Comparison of Drainage Basin Nutrient Inputs with Instream Nutrient Loads for Seven Rivers in Georgia and Florida, 1986-90
Title
A Comparison of Drainage Basin Nutrient Inputs with Instream Nutrient Loads for Seven Rivers in Georgia and Florida, 1986-90.
Name/Creator
Asbury, Clyde E. (Clyde Ellis), Oaksford, Edward T., Geological Survey (U.S.), National Water-Quality Assessment Program (U.S.)
Abstract/Description
Instream nutrient loads of the Altamaha, Suwannee, St. Johns, Satilla, Ogeechee, Withlacoochee, and Ochlockonee River basins were computed and compared with nutrient inputs for each basin for the period 1986-90. Nutrient constituents that were considered included nitrate, ammonia, organic nitrogen, and total phosphorus. Sources of nutrients considered for this analysis included atmospheric deposition, fertilizer, animal waste, wastewater-treatment plant discharge, and septic discharge.

Abstract/Description
The purpose of this report is to describe and compare two methods (the tidal-estimation and basin-ratio methods) that were used for estimating discharge and nutrient loads for the tidal reaches of the Myakka and Peace River Basins. Data were collected during four separate 30-day periods during 1994 and 1995; two of the periods represented low-flow conditions and two represented high-flow conditions.
