National Water-Quality Assessment Program: Water Quality Conditions and Mass Transport in the Flint River, Southwestern Georgia, Related to the Flood of July 1994, Caused by Tropical Storm Alberto
Abstract
Nineteen water samples were collected from July 6-26
in the Flint River at Newton, Ga., to assess water quality
and mass transport related to flooding caused by tropical
storm Alberto. Water-quality and stream-discharge data
indicate that the large quantity of runoff caused substantial
changes in sediment and chemical-constituent concentrations
because of dilution, or mobilization of constituents.
Nutrient loads were a substantial part of the mean annual
loads based on historic data. Nutrient and pesticide loads
were from 0.07 to 4.5 percent of the estimated annual inputs
to the basin from point and nonpoint sources.
