Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to assess general hydrogeologic
and water quality conditions and to estimate nutrient loads and sediment
transport rates for tributaries to Perdido Bay, including the Perdido River
and nine tributaries in Baldwin County, 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
along the western shore of Perdido Bay.
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 to Perdido Bay, including the Perdido
River and nine additional tributaries in Baldwin County, Alabama. The data
were collected to evaluate pollutant transport and inform the development
of a comprehensive watershed management plan.
