 To support modeling efforts in basins with little water quality information. 1. Monitoring sites with USGS gages to estimate nutrient and sediment loads. 2. Monitoring HUC-12 outlets to better understand how water quality changes across sub-watersheds draining different land uses UA Division of Agriculture Arkansas Water Resources Center

 Poteau Watershed (HUC ) USGS USGS

UA Division of Agriculture Arkansas Water Resources Center  Strawberry Watershed (HUC ) USGS

UA Division of Agriculture Arkansas Water Resources Center  Upper Saline Watershed (HUC ) USGS USGS USGS USGS

 Water samples were collected once a month during base flow conditions. Samples were collected from a single vertical point in the stream  Rising, peak and falling flows were targeted during each storm events.

 Stage recorded in 30 minute intervals by USGS to estimate discharge.  Water samples were analyzed at the AWRC WQL for: Soluble Reactive P Total P Nitrate-N Total N Total Suspended Solids Conductivity Turbidity

 Linear regression will be used to determine the relationship between daily load and daily flow: ln(L d ) = β o + β 1 ln(Q d ) —or— ln(L d ) = β o + β 1 ln(Q d ) + β 2 sin(2πT) + β 3 cos(2πT)  BCF will be used to remove bias from log transformations:

UA Division of Agriculture Arkansas Water Resources Center USGS  Sampling began in October  Monthly base flow and several storm events were collected through project year (June 2012). 9 Base flow & 9 Storm event

UA Division of Agriculture Arkansas Water Resources Center USGS USGS USGS USGS  Sampling began in October  Monthly base flow and several storm events were collected through project year (June 2012). 9 Base flow & 5 Storm event 9 Base flow & 8 Storm event 9 Base flow & 7 Storm event

UA Division of Agriculture Arkansas Water Resources Center Sampling Limitations:  Less rainfall in  Proximity of locations. We’ve missed a few storms because we didn’t know it was going to rain in other parts of the state!

UA Division of Agriculture Arkansas Water Resources Center Low High LAND USE %Pasture and Urban Phosphorus Concentration Low High LAND USE % Forest Phosphorus Concentration Low High  We can use HUC 12 data to compare measured concentrations to land use.

“To improve the health of the Mississippi River Basin, including water quality and wildlife habitat, the USDA and its partners will help producers in selected watersheds in the Mississippi River Basin voluntarily implement conservation practices and systems that avoid, control, and trap nutrient runoff; improve wildlife habitat; and maintain agricultural productivity.”
