Basin Summaries

The following Basin Summaries are the products of workshops that brought together scientific and technical experts to review monitoring results and identify possible management actions to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment. The basin summaries include information on land use, nutrient and sediment sources and loadings, nutrient and sediment concentrations, submerged aquatic vegetation, benthic community condition, and information on nutrient limitation.
