Webber JS. 2012. Water quality condition assessment of streams in national parks of the Mid-Atlantic USA integrating physical, chemical, and biological datasets. The Pennsylvania State University
The goal of this study was to comprehensively characterize water quality in 53 headwater stream reaches throughout nine National Park units of the Mid-Atlantic USA and to assess their current condition. Chemical water quality parameters (e.g., major cations and anions, nutrients, organics, trace metals, and water isotopes) and streamflow were measured in the 53 focal reaches six times during varying seasonal baseflow conditions from 2010 to 2011.
