Water budget for and nitrogen loads to Northeast Creek, Bar Harbor, Maine

Nielsen MG. 2002. Water budget for and nitrogen loads to Northeast Creek, Bar Harbor, Maine. Water-Resources Investigations Report 02-4000. U.S. Geological Survey

Field Work: 1999-2000 'Purpose and Scope: ...This report describes the results of an investigation to develop a preliminary hydrologic budget for the Northeast Creek/Fresh Meadow system and to determine the flux of external nitrogen entering Northeast Creek. The study focused on the most readily determined aspects of the hydrologic budget of the system - surface water inflows, atmospheric precipitation, and evapotranspiration. Nitrogen fluxes from surface-water inflows and atmospheric precipitation also were determined. Ground-water inflows also were considered. Data are presented for the period of the study, from April 1999 through September 2000.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Northeast Creek/Fresh Meadow/Aunt Betsey's Brook/French Hill Brook/Old Mill Brook/ Liscomb Brook/ Stony Brook/
