Water Quality Monitoring and Constituent Load Estimation in the Kings River near Berryville, Arkansas 2009 Brian E. Haggard Arkansas Water Resources Center UA Division of Agriculture Funded by ANRC through Kings River Watershed Partnership

2009 Summary: Loads and Flow-Weighted Concentrations ClSO 4 NH 3 -NNO 3 -NSRPTNTPTSS Loads 2,156,0004,170,00047,000663,00051,000920,000250,000169,710,000 FWC

Water samples were collected at the Kings River near Berryville, Arkansas Stage was recorded in 30 min intervals by the USGS to estimate discharge Water samples were collected once a week and targeted storm events Water samples were analyzed for nitrate-N, ammonia-N, total N, total P, soluble reactive P, total suspended solids, sulfate and chloride Sampling Location

Load Determination & Mean Concentration Linear regression was used to determine the relationship between daily load, flow and seasonal factors: 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 was used to remove bias from log transformations: BCF= ∑e R n

Some constituents exhibited seasonal effects…

And, some constituents required hydrograph separation…

Daily Loads were variable…

Monthly Loads were least during late summer…

Phosphorus loads have been variable following the general trend in annual discharge.

Nitrogen loads in 2009 were less than that observed in 2008, even though discharge increased.

Total suspended solids loads in 2009 were similar to that observed in 2008.

The regressions used to estimate loads considered seasonal effects, where appropriate And, this site also showed different relations between concentration and discharge at low and high flow The new monitoring program was successful at estimating loads at the Kings River.
