NAWQA - Regional Stream-Quality Assessment Field Data Management
The Regional Stream-Quality Assessment (RSQA) of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program (NAWQA) assesses the ecological stressors in various regions across the United States. The stressors are related to water quality, streamflow, and toxicity. Field data management ensures a clean, complete dataset for interpretation and analysis with no loss of samples or data.

Mixed-chemical exposure and predicted effects potential in wadeable southeastern USA streams
Complex chemical mixtures have been widely reported in larger streams but relatively little work has been done to characterize them and assess their potential effects in headwaterstreams. In 2014, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) sampled 54 Piedmont streams over ten weeks and measured 475 unique organic compounds...

Nutrient enrichment in wadeable urban streams in the piedmont ecoregion of the southeastern United States
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Southeastern Stream Quality Assessment (SESQA) collected weekly samples for nitrogen and phosphorus in 76 wadeable streams in the urbanized Piedmont ecoregion of the Southeastern United States, during April–June 2014. Total nitrogen (TN) concentrations in excess of EPA guidelines and statistically greater than at...
