 1. Accuracy of nutrient runoff load calculations using
 time-composite sampling.

 Abstract: The accuracy of time-composite sampling as a means to
 calculate phosphorus loads from agricultural runoff was evaluated
 analytically and numerically. It was shown that, when hydrographs
 and concentration graphs were positively correlated, computations
 using a time-composite sampling strategy resulted in load
 underestimation. Combinations of 11 synthetically generated and
 12 actual hydrographs and concentration graphs of agricultural
 runoff events were used for numerical analysis. The bias in load
 calculation with different sampling frequencies was determined.
 The influence of cross-correlation of hydrographs and
 concentration graphs on the direction and magnitude of bias was
 demonstrated. Although flow-composite sampling is theoretically
 correct for load computation, it is more expensive and, like
 other approaches, still involves uncertainties in both flow and
 concentration measurements. The dependence of the coefficient of
 variation (CV) of load on CV of flow rate, CV of concentration,
 and the cross-correlation between flow rate and concentration is
 presented analytically and graphically. To achieve load estimates
 comparable to the accuracy of flow-composite sampling, multiple
 time-composite sampling methods were investigated. This analysis
 indicates that with eight concentration values from eight
 time-composite samples of a runoff event, a reliable load
 estimation can usually be made.

 Abstract: A highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
 (ELISA) was applied to the analysis of the  atrazine metabolite
 deethylatrazine in natural water samples. The ELISA, with a
 detection range  between approximately 10 ng/L and 10
 micrograms/L, was performed and validated in microtiterplates;
 120 environmental water samples were analyzed with the ELISA. A
 close correspondence wasfound between the results of the ELISA
 and those from GC or HPLC measurements. The correlation  
 coefficient between ELISA and HPLC, based upon 70 water samples,
 was 0.98 and between ELISA and GC, based upon 50 water samples,
 0.99.

 Abstract: Bioavailable phosphorus (BAP) transported in
 agricultural runoff can accelerate surface water eutrophication.
 Although several algal assays and chemical extractions have been
 proposed to estimate BAP, procedural and theoretical limitations
 have restricted widespread BAP measurement. Thus, a routine
 method was developed to estimate BAP, which uses iron
 oxide-impregnated paper strips (Fe-oxide strips) as a P-sink for
 BAP in runoff. In the proposed method BAP is determined by
 shaking 50 mL of unfiltered runoff with one Fe-oxide strip for 16
 h. Phosphorus is removed from the strip by 0.1 M H2SO4 and
 measured. The BAP content of runoff from 20 agricultural
 watersheds in the Southern Plains was related to the growth of
 P-starved algae incubated for 29 d with runoff as the sole source
 of P. Acting as a P sink, Fe-oxide strips may have a stronger
 theoretical basis than chemical extraction in estimating BAP. The
 method may also have potential use as an environmental soil P
 test to indicate soils liable to enrich runoff with sufficient P
 to accelerate eutrophication. Bioavailable P loss in runoff was
 lower from no till (438 g ha-1 yr-1) than from conventional till
 (1288 g ha-1 yr-1). Kinetic and enrichment ratio approaches
 accurately predicted (r2 of 0.93) BAP transport in runoff during
 1988 to 1990. Use of the Fe-oxide strip method will facilitate
 estimation of BAP transport in runoff and thereby, improve
 assessment of the resultant impact on the biological productivity
 of receiving surface waters.

 Abstract: There are no standard methods of determining the impact
 of septic systems on contamination of groundwater aquifers.
 Sampling of water for microbiological properties in unsaturated
 soil is particularly difficult. Successful water sampling devices
 should collect large amounts of percolating water with minimal
 change in chemical and biological properties of the water. This
 laboratory study compared the effectiveness of four types of soil
 water sampling devices for qualitative sampling of water, using
 total coliform, fecal coliform, and fecal streptococcus as the
 primary indicators of water quality. The devices tested were: (i)
 high-flow ceramic tension lysimeter, (ii) high-flow fritted glass
 tension lysimeter, (iii) sand-filled lysimeters, and (iv)
 perforated-tube wells. A constant source of vacuum (0.01 MPa) was
 applied to all devices to collect water samples. High-flow
 ceramic tension lysimeters collected adequate volumes of water
 (an average of 0.340 L after 6 h) but excessive filtering led to
 under-estimation of microbial numbers (only 6% of total coliform,
 2.2% of fecal coliform, and no fecal streptococcus were
 collected). Perforated-tube wells did not collect any water under
 partially saturated soil conditions; collection occurred only
 below the water table. Sand-filled lysimeters showed the best
 combination of volume collection (an average of 0.660 L after 6
 h) with good estimation of microbial numbers (90% for total
 coliform, 83% for fecal coliform, and 45% for fecal
 streptococcus).

 Abstract: Slash burning is a common site preparation technique
 used after timber harvest throughout the Southeastern United
 States. Little quantitative information exists on the hydrologic
 response to burn severity. This study compared the effects of
 low-severity and high-severity burns on runoff and sediment
 yields during rainfall simulation and during natural rainfall in
 the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Fire severity was largely
 determined by moisture conditions of the forest floor prior to
 ignition. Runoff and sediment yield variability was high between
 plots within the same treatment area due to differences in forest
 floor characteristics and infiltration rates. Conditions of
 high-severity resulted when burning was conducted with relatively
 dry fuels. Sediment yields were 40-times greater for the
 high-severity treatment areas than the low-severity treatment
 areas.

 Abstract: Lysimeters are the primary research tool for measuring
 percolation and water quality. Monolithic percolation lysimeters
 were evaluated for measuring the quantity and quality of leachate
 from the root zone of irrigated crops. Six percolation lysimeters
 were installed in a continuous corn (Zea mays L.) cropping system
 near North Platte, Nebraska, during the fall of 1988 and spring
 1989. The lysimeters were 0.9 m in diameter and 2.4 m deep. They
 were filled with undisturbed soil using a hydraulic pull-down
 method. Porous stainless steel extractors were installed
 vertically upward into the lysimeter bottoms, and leachate was
 extracted from the unsaturated soil. Leachate volume, volumetric
 soil water content, soil temperature, and soil bulk density were
 measured. Isolation of a large soil monolith in the lysimeter did
 not significantly affect plant growth, soil bulk density, or
 temperature. Soil water content near the lysimeter bottoms was
 greater than in the surrounding field after a wet spring in 1991.
 However, extractors removed most excess water and adequately
 matched unsaturated drainage in the field. Though leachate varied
 among lysimeters, they behaved similarly over time. Results will
 help relate irrigation management and scheduling strategies to
 potential leaching of soil water and associated chemicals into
 groundwater.

 Abstract: Simple and multiple linear regression models were used
 to estimate dry deposition and canopy leaching sources of
 constituents in throughfall and stemflow for adjacent deciduous
 and coniferous forests at the Panola Mountain Research Watershed
 (PMRW), Georgia. The models were evaluated for their
 comparability and statistical significance, and model fluxes were
 compared with fluxes derived from field collection and a dry
 deposition inferential model. i.e. field-interred fluxes. The
 multiple regression model used antecedent dry period and event
 quantity as independent variables. Field-inferred fluxes
 indicated that dry deposition was a major source of SO4(-2),
 NO3(-) and H+ in throughfall, and canopy leaching was the major
 source of Ca2(+), Mg2(+), K+ and Cl- in both deciduous and
 coniferous forests. The canopy leaching flux predicted by the

 Abstract: This paper reviews both field and laboratory studies
 that tested or compared the ability of various types of sampling
 devices to deliver representative ground water samples.  Several
 types of grab samplers, positive displacement devices, and
 suction-lift devices were evaluated.  Gas-lift and inertial-lift
 pumps were also evaluated.  This study found that most of thise
 devices can, under certain circumstances, alter the chemistry of
 ground water samples.  Gas-lift pumps, older types of submersible
 centrifugal pumps, and suction-lift devices are not recommended
 when sampling for sensitive constituents such as volatile
 organics and inorganics, or inorganics that are subject to
 oxidation/precipitation reactions.  In general, of the devices
 reviewed in this paper, bladder pumps gave the best recovery of
 sensitive constituents.  However, better performance could be
 achieved for several devices if improved operational guidelines
 were developed by additional testing, especially at lower flow
 rates.  Clearly, further research is warranted.  Future studies
 should focus on pumping rate, flow control mechanisms, and
 dedication of decontamination of sampling devices.

 Abstract: Ion-exchange resin (IER) bags were tested as traps for
 leached soil NO3(-)-N. In laboratoryexperiments, IER bags
 recovered 84.7% of the NO3(-)-N from solutions containing 0.09 to
 40.74 g  NO3(-)-N kg-1 resin, but recovery decreased at higher
 concentrations. In soil columns, NO3(-)-Nrecovery was poor
 (36.2%) when NO3(-)N moved slowly through the soil profile after
 a rapid singlepulse, but improved (87.1%) when higher flow was
 sustained. In the field, estimates of leachedNO3(-)-N using
 IER bags fell within the range of values estimated from soil
 cores and suctionlysimeters. Advantages of IER bags are
 attributed to cumulative recovery of NO3(-)-N during passive
 interception of gravitational water flow.

 Abstract: The large-scale production and use of chlorinated
 aliphatic hydrocarbons (CHC) in the United States has resulted in
 numerous documented cases of soil and ground water contamination.
 Potential chronic exposure from contaminated soil and ground
 water, as well as from products used in the home, is sufficient
 reason to develop a thorough understanding of the environmental
 fate of these known and possible human carcinogens. Most CHCs are
 very mobile in the subsurface environment, either as volatilized
 Constituents in the vadose zone due to their high vapor pressure
 and low water solubility; as dissolved constituents in ground
 water since they are not strongly adsorbed by aquifer materials;
 and as dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) in ground water,
 primarily because they have low water solubility and densities
 greater than water. As free-phase chemicals (i.e., DNAPLs), CHCs
 may pool on low-permeability subsurface stratum and cause
 shrinkage and cracking of clay minerals, thereby significantly
 increasing the stratum's hydraulic conductivity and allowing
 rapid CHC breakthrough and migration. Although laboratory and
 field studies have demonstrated this effect, additional
 investigations are needed to determine the impact CHC DNAPLs have
 on low-permeability in situ sediments. CHCs are persistent
 environmental contaminants because they resist chemical and
 biological degradation. The average half-life for CHC abiotic
 transformations ranges from two months to greater than 10(10)
 years. Chlorinated ethenes are the most resistant CHCs to abiotic
 degradation. Biodegradation half-lives for CHCs may vary
 considerably but range from about two weeks to eight months or
 more. Anaerobic reductive. ground water, although aerobic CHC
 biodegradation may be a significant process in the shallow
 subsurface. Technological applications of remedial processes for
 stimulating in situ CHC biodegradation in soils and ground water
 need to be developed, particularly with regard to CHCs entrained
 as residual saturation.

 Descriptors: phosphorus-; bioavailability-; estimation-; runoff-;

 Abstract: The transport of bioavailable phosphorus (BAP) in
 agricultural runoff can accelerate the eutrophication of
 receiving water bodies.  However, procedural and theoretical
 limitations of algal bioassays and chemical extractants have
 restricted widespread measurement of BAP.  Thus, a simple method
 using iron oxide-impregnated paper (Fe-oxide strips) as a sink
 for BAP in runoff samples has been developed. As the method has
 potential application for BAP extraction at one location and
 analysis at another, Fe-oxide strips were sent to Bologna and
 Rome, Italy, for P extraction of runoff samples and BAP
 determined. These BAP estimates were not significantly different
 (p < 0.001) from values determined on duplicate strips returned
 to the USA for BAP analysis. The close agreement in BAP measured
 in Italian and U.S. laboratories indicates that the simplicity of
 the proposed method can give highly reproducible BAP estimates. 
 Prepared Fe-oxide strips may be sent to a location and BAP
 extracted using only a 100- to 500-mL bottle in which a strip and
 runoff sample are shaken overnight. The Fe-oxide strip may then
 be air-dried and returned to an analytical laboratory for
 subsequent P removal and measurement.  Storage of these strips
 for up to 60 d had no effect on the amounts of P released.

 Abstract: Pesticides used to maintain golf course turf can
 threaten ground water.  This concern is particularly important in
 most of New York's Long Island, where generally sandy soils
 overlie a sole source aquifer.  This study uses two methods to
 evaluate the potential for pesticides that are commonly used on
 Long Island's golf courses to leach to ground water. Adapting the
 Pesticide Root Zone Model (PRZM), Release 1, for dense turf and
 applying site-specific soil data, certain pesticides, including
 metalaxyl and trichlorfon, are identified as potential problem
 leachers.  PRZM simulations also identify the Long Island soils,
 including the sandy Plymouth and Carver soils, which are most
 vulnerable to leaching. When adequate input data for PRZM is
 unavailable, the ground water ubiquity score (GUS) method may be
 useful.  GUS leachability classifications of pesticides commonly
 applied on Long Island golf courses, and of pesticides actually
 detected in ground water samples taken on Long Island, agree with
 PRZM predictions and the field data.  The GUS method is applied
 to the evaluation of the leaching potential of pesticide
 degradation products (DCPA, maneb, and mancozeb metabolites), and
 the degradation products are shown to be a greater threat to
 ground water than their parent compounds. These methods are
 potentially useful in designing ground water monitoring programs
 and for guiding the pesticide use and selection decisions of golf
 course managers.

 Abstract: Following a rail accident that spilled the soil
 fumigant VAPAM into the Sacramento River on 14 July 1991, a
 special study was carried out to assess the extent of
 contamination in Lake Shasta.  A total of 32 river water samples
 collected on 18 July and another 316 samples collected from 22
 July through 30 August were analyzed.  Data obtained clearly
 showed the presence of the degradation products of Metham,
 namely, methyl isothiocyanate, carbonyl sulfide, methyl sulfide,
 and traces of methylamine.  However, due to the emergency nature
 of the incident that required quick analytical turnaround times,
 as well as the unavailability of a satisfactory analytical
 method, the presence of Metham could not be demonstrated with
 certainty initially. Nonetheless, the laboratory's timely
 response to the crisis assisted public health officials in
 assessing the extent of the contamination and assuring the
 community-at-large that their drinking water was safe to consume. 
 None of the degradation products analyzed were detected 1 wk
 after the spill.

 Abstract: Between October 1992 and February 1993, a total of 359
 private wells in Northampton County were sampled and data on
 water-quality variables (temperature, pH, and conductivity), well
 construction, and site characteristics were collected. The
 groundwater samples were analyzed for aldicarb, alachlor,
 atrazine, carbofuran, linuron, methomyl, metolachlor, metribuzin,
 napropamide, pendimethalin, pronamide, simazine, and nitrate. The
 wells were stratified into shallow wells, withdrawing water from
 the unconfined aquifer, and deep wells, withdrawing water from
 the deeper confined aquifers. The study was undertaken as a pilot
 study to demonstrate the applicability of a recently developed
 framework for evaluating the extent of pesticide contamination in
 Virginia's groundwater. Pesticides were detected in 14% of the
 shallow wells and in 7% of the deep wells sampled. Pesticide
 detection was associated with the well depth, with a higher
 probability of detecting a pesticide in the shallow unconfined
 aquifer than in the deeper aquifers. Nitrate above the U.S. EPA
 drinking water standard of 10 mg/L was found in 17% of the
 shallow and 1% of the deep wells. Pesticide and nitrate
 detections were not significantly related to well and site
 characteristics, such as crop type, location of well head, and
 distance to the nearest water body.

 Abstract: The potential for NO3-N leaching after alfalfa
 (Medicago sativa L.) in irrigated crop production depends on
 cropping sequence and tillage practices. A 2-yr field experiment
 in south-central Idaho compared the NO3-N leached following
 alfalfa of a conventional tillage bean-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris
 L.) rotation with a silage corn (Zea mays L.)-winter wheat
 (Triticum aestivum L.) rotation in a conventional tillage or
 no-till system. Nitrate leaching was determined by: (i) sampling
 the soil solution below the root zone (1.2 and 1.5 m) using
 ceramic-tipped samplers and calculating the N movement from the
 water balance, and (ii) measuring the change in soil NO3-N at
 1.35 to 4.5 m from soil samples taken in the fall and spring to
 4.5 m. During the second growing season, average soil solution
 NO3-N concentrations (below the root zone) were 28, 4, and 10 mg
 L-1 for the bean-bean, corn-wheat no-till, and corn-wheat tilled
 treatments, respectively. The soil NO3-N in 1.35 to 3.3 m at the
 end of the study was 80 kg N ha-1 higher for the bean-bean
 treatment than for the corn-wheat treatments. The NO3-N that
 moved below 1.35 m during the 2 yr was 53 4 ha-1 higher for the
 bean-bean than for the corn-wheat treatments. The soil NO3-N in
 the 1.35 to 3.3 m depth after 2 yr was 21 kg ha-1 higher for the
 corn-wheat under conventional tillage than under the no-till
 system.

 Abstract: Runoff water collected in laboratory experiments with
 simulated rainfall on partially dried grass samples was analysed
 to estimate the extent of leaching losses which occur when rain
 falls on partially dried swaths in the field. Loss levels varied
 between grass samples, and between runoff water samples taken at
 different stages of rewetting on the same grass. Results showed a
 tendency towards higher losses from initially drier grass swaths,
 and higher losses from conditioned compared to unconditioned
 grass, but not in a very consistent manner. The distributed model
 of the rewetting process was used to attempt to explain
 variations in losses over time. A leaching loss relationship for
 use in Operational Research models of forage conservation is
 suggested; this represents the main trends shown in the results
 with regard to variation in loss with swath moisture content and
 conditioning, but not the random variation arising for unknown
 reasons.

 Abstract: This paper addresses the question of similarity of
 runoff generation processes between catchments in the eastern
 wheat belt of Western Australia, and the use of dimensionless
 parameterizations to quantify this similarity.  A spatially
 distributed rainfall-runoff model, simulating runoff generation
 by both the infiltration excess (Horton type) and saturation
 excess (Dunne type) mechanisms, was developed for catchments in
 the region.  Seven small experimental catchments, with
 field-measured soil hydraulic properties and topography, were
 used in the study.  Following on from the similarity theory
 developed by Sivapalan et al. (1987), a number of dimensionless
 similarity parameters were constructed using the field-measured
 soil and topographic properties, a characteristic length scale,
 and a characteristic flow velocity. The objective was to
 determine whether the dominant runoff generation mechanism on a
 catchment could be reliably predicted by these similarity
 parameters.  This was achieved through sensitivity analyses
 carried out with the rainfall-runoff model.  Two dimensionless
 parameters, K(*/0) and f*, were found to be critical for
 characterizing the similarity or dissimilarity of the runoff
 generation responses between the seven experimental catchments. 
 Within the assumptions of the analysis, two catchments in the
 wheat belt region can be considered to be hydrologically similar,
 in terms of their runoff responses, if K(*/0) and f* are
 identical in both catchments.  The dominant mechanism of runoff
 generation on any catchment can be reliably predicted, provided
 that the values of K(*/0) and f* are known.  A partial
 quantification of the Dunne diagram. and saturation excess
 mechanisms, was achieved by artificially varying K(*/0) and f* in
 the rainfall-runoff model to explore the full range of possible
 runoff generation responses.
