Abstract:
This survey set was designed to evaluate the degree to which the various stream and lake segments in the lower portion of Indian Bend Wash acted as sources or sinks for dissolved inorganic nutrients ( SRP, NO3, and NH4 .
Complete surveys of the study reach were conducted on 23 dates in 2002 and 19 dates in 2003. Surveys were approximately monthly during winter and more frequent during summer, with survey frequency increasing directly after floods. In addition to complete surveys, a subset of points was also sampled during 6 flood events. Sample locations included inlets and outlets of all lakes between the outlet of L-1 and the outlet of L-8, plus additional inlet and outlet sites for other hydrologic inputs and off-channel components of the system.

Methods used in producing this dataset:
This survey set was designed to evaluate the degree to which the various stream and lake segments in the lower portion of Indian Bend Wash (Fig 3.1) acted as sources or sinks for dissolved inorganic nutrients (SRP, NO3, and NH4).
Conduct surveys monthly during winter and more frequent during summer, with survey frequency increasing directly after floods
Conduct sampling with two teams of people moving upstream.
Dissolved oxygen and temperature will be measured in the field using either a YSI 85 or YSI 95.
Measure Height of the flow by using the bridge (if avalible). Measure to the top of the water and subtracting the known height of the bridge from the measured height.
Estimate the flow through the pipe as the difference between the average discharge through the entire study reach and the discharge out of lake H.
Record all measurements on spreadsheet and process samples in the lab.
