15: Streamwater load and yield estimates for 12 constituents in 13 watersheds in Gwinnett County, Georgia for water years 2003-2020
The dataset contains annual and model calibration period streamwater constituent load and yield estimates for 13 watersheds in Gwinnett County, Georgia for the water years 2003 to 2020. Loads and yields were estimated for 12 water-quality constituents: total suspended solids, suspended sediment concentration, total nitrogen, total nitrate plus nitrite, total phosphorus, dissolved phosphorus, total organic carbon, total calcium, total magnesium, total lead, total zinc, and total dissolved solids. The USGS LOADEST load estimation software, which employs a regression-model estimation approach, was used for constituents that had at least a minimal relation with the model explanatory variables, as indicated by concentration model R-square >0.20. The Beale ratio estimator was used to estimate loads for constituents that had weak concentration-model relations, concentration model R-squares <0.20. Loads and yields are provided for the 13 individual study watersheds and for the study watersheds area. The period of loads available varies by watershed depending upon when monitoring and constituent analysis started. Uncertainties in load and yield estimates that were calculated using LOADEST are provided as 95-percent confidence intervals of the estimates.
