Detailed Description
Hydrologic Technician Kyle Fronte measures streamflow in the Mashpee River and also takes water quality samples for a project that designed, tested, and evaluated approaches for using field observations and groundwater-flow simulations to identify areas of high nitrogen loading to selected rivers on Cape Cod.

Measurement and Modeling of Nitrogen Discharge to Cape Cod Rivers to Identify High-Priority Nitrogen Reduction Areas
In 2019 USGS and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 initiated a study to measure spatial and temporal patterns of nitrogen loading in selected rivers on Cape Cod and then determine whether the measured patterns can be related to nitrogen source areas in the surrounding watersheds to prioritize nitrogen reduction efforts. Study results will improve understanding of nitrogen...
