Abstract:

This survey set was designed to evaluate the degree to which the various stream and lake segments in the lower portion of Indian Bend Wash acted as sources or sinks for dissolved inorganic nutrients ( SRP, NO3, and NH4 .

Complete surveys of the study reach were conducted on 23 dates in 2002 and 19 dates in 2003. Surveys were approximately monthly during winter and more frequent during summer, with survey frequency increasing directly after floods. In addition to complete surveys, a subset of points was also sampled during 6 flood events. Sample locations included inlets and outlets of all lakes between the outlet of L-1 and the outlet of L-8, plus additional inlet and outlet sites for other hydrologic inputs and off-channel components of the system.
