Nutrient and salt mass balance on the Lower Arkansas River and a contributing tributary in an irrigated agricultural setting

Informally Refereed

Abstract

The Lower Arkansas River Basin is an irrigated, agricultural valley suffering from high concentrations of nutrients and salts in the coupled groundwater-surface water system. The majority of water quality data collection and associated spatial analysis of concentrations and mass loadings from the aquifer to the stream network has been performed at the regional scale (> 500 km2).
