{"product_id":"2940014366335","title":"Surface-Water Quality and Nutrient Loads in the Nepaug Reservoir Watershed, Northwestern Connecticut, 1999-2001","description":"Water quality was characterized at three tributary watersheds\u003cbr\u003eto the Nepaug Reservoir—Nepaug River, Phelps Brook,\u003cbr\u003eand Clear Brook—from October 1998 through September 2001\u003cbr\u003eto document existing water-quality conditions and evaluate\u003cbr\u003epotential future effects of the removal of sand and gravel from\u003cbr\u003eareas of the watershed. Some removal operations may include\u003cbr\u003eremoval of vegetation and top soil and steepening of slopes.\u003cbr\u003eRoutine water samples collected monthly in all three watersheds\u003cbr\u003ewere analyzed for nutrients, organic carbon, major ions,\u003cbr\u003eand fecal indicator bacteria. Results of the analyses indicate\u003cbr\u003ethat, in general, the water quality in all three tributary watersheds\u003cbr\u003eis good and meets standards established for drinkingwater\u003cbr\u003esupplies for nitrate, but does not always meet contact-recreation\u003cbr\u003estandards for bacteria. Median concentrations of total\u003cbr\u003enitrogen, total phosphorus, and total organic carbon were highest\u003cbr\u003ein the routine monthly samples from Phelps Brook and lowest\u003cbr\u003efrom Clear Brook. Samples also were collected during\u003cbr\u003eselected storms to examine changes in concentrations of nutrients\u003cbr\u003eduring periods of high streamflow. The maximum values\u003cbr\u003emeasured for total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total organic\u003cbr\u003ecarbon were in storm samples from Clear Brook.","brand":"The Delano Max Wealth Institute, LLC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121139368176,"sku":"2940014366335","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014366335_p0.jpg?v=1763606783","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014366335","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
