Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Trace Elements in Florida Surface Waters, 1970-71

Boyd F. Joyner

INTRODUCTION

For many years, the US Geological Survey has been the Nation’s prime collector of water-quality data.  Most of the data have been collected in cooperation with various state, county, local, and other federal agencies.  Since 1941 the Geological Survey has published, in Water-Supply Papers, surface-water quality data on an annual basis.  Also, since 1964, surface-water quality records for Florida have been released by the Geological Survey in annual State reports.

The purpose of this report is to summarize nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace-element data collected at selected stations on a statewide basis from Florida surface waters in 1970-71.  The data were collected in cooperation with many state, county, local and other federal agencies.  Discussing the cause and effect relations and other significant features of the analyses is beyond the intent of this report.  Its scope is limited to highlighting at least some of the results of the analyses of the samples collected from the selected statewide network.
