Data and Regression Models for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus for the Iroquois River near Foresman, Indiana, March 20, 2015 to July 19, 2018

November 19, 2019

The primary data set consists of continuous water-quality data (temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nitrate plus nitrite, and streamflow) from in-situ equipment, and discrete water-quality samples (total nitrogen, total phosphorus, suspended sediment concentration, and suspended sediment sieve diameter) collected during site visits at the USGS streamgage Iroquois River near Foresman, Indiana, April 7, 2015 to July 19, 2018. These continuous and discrete measurements were used to develop regression models which may be used to compute concentrations and loads of total nitrogen and total phosphorus. The secondary data set consists of daily streamflow, daily nitrate, daily turbidity and daily specific conductance values collected continuously by in-situ monitors at Iroquois River near Foresman, Indiana March 20, 2015 to July 19, 2018 which serve as input explanatory variables for the developed regression models to compute total nitrogen and total phosphorus at Iroquois River near Foresman. The tertiary data set for March 20, 2015 to July 19, 2018 is the output data set that was developed by application of the regression models and includes the computed daily mean total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations (concentration, upper 95-percent prediction interval, and lower 95-percent prediction interval) and daily mean total nitrogen and total phosphorus loads (load, upper 95-percent prediction interval, and lower 95-percent prediction interval).
