Abstract
The purpose of this investigation is to assess general hydrogeologic and water quality conditions and to estimate nutrient loads and sediment transport rates for tributaries to the Mobile Tensaw Delta from Mobile and Baldwin counties, Alabama. These data are used to quantify water quality impacts and to support development of a watershed management plan, designed to preserve, protect, and restore watersheds feeding into the Mobile Tensaw Delta. This report and all associated data and related items of information were prepared by the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, under a cooperative agreement with the State of Alabama, under Award No. GNTCP18AL0066 from the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (RESTORE Council). The data, statements, findings, conclusions, and recommendations are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect any determinations, views, or policies of the RESTORE Council.
Purpose
This dataset supports an investigation aimed at characterizing hydrogeologic conditions, assessing water quality, and estimating nutrient and sediment loads for tributaries that flow into the Mobile Tensaw Delta from Mobile and Baldwin counties. The data were collected to evaluate pollutant transport and inform the development of a comprehensive watershed management plan.
