WHY STUDY SOUGAHATCHEE CREEK?

SougahatcheeCreek YatesLake Photo taken on April 13, 1999

Project Objectives: 1.Measure concentrations and estimate annual loading of plant nutrients, total suspended solids (sediments) and metals 2.Examine physical habitat conditions of the streams and conduct bioassessments utilizing benthic macroinvertebrate communities 3.Using GIS technology, examine and quantify land cover for the entire Sougahatchee Basin from 1993 and 2001 satellite imagery and aerial photography 4.Using regression analysis, examine relationships between basin land cover, nutrient and sediment loading and biological condition of the streams

WHAT ARE PLANT NUTRIENTS ? Nitrogen (NO 2, NO 3, NH 3, TN) Nitrogen (NO 2, NO 3, NH 3, TN) Phosphorus (SRP or PO 4, TP) Phosphorus (SRP or PO 4, TP) Potassium (K) Potassium (K)

NO 3 PO 4 NH 3 K

* EPA recommends 0.05 mg/L as the maximum concentration of total phosphorus for flowing streams entering a lake. ** 0.1 mg/L = 1 ounce in 80,000 gallons of water ** *
