Rivers and Streams Monitoring Program: 2005-2009
ADEM Monitoring Strategy:2005-2009 Data collected at majority of
wadeable, flowing rivers and streams locations: 1X habitat and macroinvertebrate
assessments Monthly in situ parameters and water
samples, March-Oct Semi-monthly total and dissolved
metals, March-Oct
Macroinvertebrate Assessments
Periphyton Assessments
Fish Community Assessments

Figure 4. Total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll a (Chl a), and total suspended solids (TSS) of the mid station in Woodruff Reservoir, April-October 2005. Each bar graph depicts monthly changes in the variables at the mid-reservoir station. The historic mean and min/max range are also displayed for comparison. Nutrients and TSS were plotted vs. discharge (USACE Mobile District gauge data, Woodruff/Jones Bluff Reservoir).
